What are you watching instead?

I miss Lost.
I don't think i'll ever enjoy a show as much.

Since it's finished, I've finished watching the wire which is fantastic.

I've been watching Entourage (enjoyable) and Dexter (Very Good) but nothing which compares to Lost. I think I might do another re watch during the summer.

So what are the people who still venture into the Lost forum watching?

Psychedelic

Watched all seasons of Breaking Bad and Battlestar Gallactica since Lost ended, both of which I loved. I also watched Treme which I liked a lot and am waiting on season 2 of that coming later this year, along with season 4 of Breaking Bad. Watched first season of Boardwalk Empire and all the Sopranos but didn't think much of either.

I've been keeping up with Fringe. It's okay. Certainly no Lost or X-Files, but it can be very entertaining. My favourite current show is Mad Men, but it's on extended hiatus at the moment. I also have loads of Chuck to catch up with.

Been going through X Files and Six Feet Under- 2 very good shows

maximoose

I do kind of miss it, in that I dont have any shows at the minute that I'm looking forward to getting home and downloading every week (even though the last 2 seasons were pretty awful)

Since it finished I've been stuck in to 24, Boardwalk Empire, gave Flash Forward a go for a while until it got too Ridiculous for my liking, Dark Blue, The Office.

It's my gf's birthday this weekend and I've got her the boxset so I'd guess we're going to start watching it again from the start some time soon.

Sad Professor

I've been meaning to get around to Six Feet Under actually.

Frank Black

I've been watching 'The Event' - but it makes Flash Forward look logical.

I've gotten Jericho thanks to a Bargains Alerts post but haven't started watching yet.

Sad Professor

I loved the first season of Jericho and was so disappointed when it got cancelled. That show had so much potential.

Criminal minds, How i met your mother

They're no comparison,

I miss LOST soooo much

KoolKid

Its fringe & The Event for me.
The latter is getting a little too silly now.

Breaking Bad is the only thing I've had anywhere near as much interest in. Really worth checking out. Fringe has so much promise but only delivers in around one episode in six.

MrSir

Battlestar Gallactica. I've realized many people will judge you for watching this show ruling it off as a silly sci-fi. That gets very irritating especially as it's a remarkable well written and acted show.

Six Feet Under. Michael C Hall is magnificent. Will definitely look into Dexter soon.

Also completed the Wire a while back. Really is the best show ever.

Breaking Bad (brilliant)
Dexter (very good, quite same-y though)
Twin Peaks (just WTF)
Mad Men (excellent)
A Game of Thrones (brand new but excellent also)
The Walking Dead (switch off your brain for this one)

I started watching Flashforward when it came onto our screens, thought it was a cool concept that would require the same sort of dedication that Lost required. Turns out it was complete muck. Magic rings? No wonder it was cancelled after the first season.

But there really hasn't been anything that fills the Lost void, and I doubt there ever will be either.

Sad Professor

Only two episodes in, but yeah Game of Thrones is excellent. It's based on a series of books as well so no one can accuse them of making it up as they go along. Can't see the series lasting until the end though.

The two shows that have dragged me in since Lost are Mad Men and Dr.Who.

Never been interested in Who before but I'd recommend anyone who misses the nerdy speculation part of Lost to go back and watch it from the first episode of the Doctors new incarnation, only about 15 or so episodes. Like Lost it is full of story arcs and little hints that lead to wild online speculation but head writer Steven Moffat has been able to keep a handle on all the intricacies of the plots in a way Lost was never able to do. While its easier when there aren't so many episodes its pretty clear that Moffat never would have ballsed up that time travel paradox with the rafts in the way Lost did. Hell he seems to have included hints of what was to come when he was only a guest writer on the show a few years ago.

And shamefully I still watch The Event but only because I think it is one massive joke to try and see how many plot holes can be stuffed into one story.

Since starting the thread I've finished watching Entourage and Dexter.

Last season of Dexter isn't great and has one of the worst finales I've ever seen.

charlieharper

I'm a huge Lost fan & the only show to match it is The Shield. Like Lost though The Shield's ending is a bit meh but up to that it never let's up.

For another show try 24, it goes completely boll*cks after season 4 but up to that it's unreal.

Season 5 is arguably the best season! Season 7 is also excellent imo

Really?? U didnt like the end of The Shield?? The last episode of that was probably the best episode of any TV show i've ever watched!! I thought it ended perfectly!!

Anyway back on topic, since Lost has ended i've watched every episode of The Wire, The Sopranos, Deadwood and im currently working my way through Breaking Bad, Sons Of Anarchy, Dexter and a few others!!

None of them really comes close to Lost in terms of keeping you guessing what could possibly happen in the next weeks episode though!! It really was amazing how the show seemed to do it every week!!

just sitting there with a gun looking at it & we're supposed to wonder if he kills himself or someone else. I'd rather seen him go out in a blaze of glory....

Be careful to spoiler tag things. Some people haven't watched the shield (me) or 24.

Cyndaquil

I'm trying to give The Event a chance, I really am. But I can't see myself watching it beyond the current season. I'm also following Doctor Who more closely (I watched it on and off before), but again, it won't fill the void. I don't think we'll have another Lost for sometime yet.

I'd be really suprised if it gets another season.

ChaseThisLight

I can't find anything as good as Lost.

I tried to watch The Event but it lacked way too much and to me seemed like they were trying too hard to be as mind blowing as Lost was, and nothing will ever be that.

Of the shows mentioned by others that have been watched, I enjoy Sons of Anarchy and The Walking Dead and I re-watched Six Feet under and Deadwood - love them all for various reasons on their own, but none are Lost.

I watch Justified as well (seeing Faraday and Bram as brothers was decent), but it's only meh, not as great as Lost or even as good as the aforementioned shows.

I've already seen The Wire - awesome show on it's own.

May check out Dexter, as I've had lots of people tell me it's amazing. Never seen The Shield or 24.

The River is a new TV show out soon on ABC that people are commenting on could replace LOST. The trailers seem good. Its got people lost in the amazon and i'm nearly sure I saw something similar to the black smoke!

Dman001

I'm watching the usuals that I never got around to watching before like The Sopranos and Six Feet Under.

Harper's Island is worth the watch. Not the standard as Lost was by any means, but is an easy-to-watch, Murder Mystery, whodunnit series that was only commissioned for 1 Season but everything was summed up in that Season.

I heard great things about Twin Peaks and Carnivale that I've yet to watch. Twin Peaks had a big cult following in the on ABC in the 90s, and got a great critical response. Carnivale aired on HBO about 5 years ago, and explored the themes of Good and Evil. Again it had a bit of a Cult following, but never got the mainstream audience The Sopranos got at the time.

Psychedelic

I started watching Carnivale, liking it a lot so far. Interesting characters, good acting and a lot of weirdness going on.

DarkDusk

I spent the last month watching ALL the lost episodes online from start to finish. It's so easy to understand now!

im...LOST

Supernatural, The Wire, Dexter, Breaking Bad are just some of the ones I'm watching.

Breaking Bad is just awesome, awesome television.
