Imagine a tropical island totally hidden from the rest of the world. This same island has everything: supernatural forces, a terrifying monster and polar bears. For many, the idea of such a place would seem silly. But for the millions of viewers who tuned in every week from 2004 to 2010 to watch the television series Lost, anything was possible.
The first episode of this programme begins with an airplane accident. ‘Oceanic Flight 815’ crashes and leaves its survivors stranded on a beautiful tropical island. The survivors are traumatised, but also thankful to be alive and hopeful that a rescue squad is on its way. Yet, as more and more days go by on the island, the survivors experience mystifying and supernatural events. These happenings make them question where they are and why they haven’t been found.
