What critics compared Lost to
…with visuals that hark back to Lost…
For the writers, knowing your show is ending and having a clear deadline is often a benefit (see Lost)…
Mercy is given the Lost treatment, as the story jumps to scenes of future events.
The unnerving tone of the short films in the series successfully established a sense of world building, even if his approach borrowed heavily from Lost and other sci-fi works…
“Backrooms” feels like a mash up of “Identity” (2003) meets “The Shining” (1980) meets “Smile” (2022) meets Mark Z. Danielewski’s 2000 novel, “House of Leaves,” meets “Alice in Wonderland” meets “Lost,”…
A last-minute twist makes for a very black payoff, but it’s not quite enough to put the seal of originality on a familiar castaway scenario that has rather too familiar echoes of Lina Wertmüller’s Swept Away, TV’s Lost and even antique British comedy The Admirable Crichton.
Im dritten und letzten Kapitel wandelt sich der Film zu einem Mix aus Herr der Fliegen und Lost.
Does “Widow’s Bay” prove to be yet another anomalous mystery set in a place rife with supernatural earmarks that’s detached from the rest of the world like “Lost” or “From”?
However, the elephant in the room of references is, of course, LOST. While not explicitly explored until nearly the end of the first season, there’s no ifs, ands, or buts that one of the most influential TV series of the last 20 years is built into the bones of Widow’s Bay.
I found myself at times reminded of Lost…
That’s why continuous narrative shows like Twin Peaks and Lost were absolute gamechangers; they didn’t give up their secrets over an episode, or even a season, and the point was to arouse curiosity and keep the audience guessing as to what they were actually watching.

Scenarist Matthew Robinson (“Dora and the Lost City of Gold”) also borrows elements of “Lost” and “Groundhog Day.”
Fiennes, bearing a striking resemblance to Lost’s John Locke…
The only insult that I did not take out of my quiver was comparing it to “Lost,” but there is one episode left.
It was all around excellent TV that ranks right alongside the best episodes of zeitgeist action/drama shows like Lost, Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead.

…like those Lost episodes in the cages…
Arrow uses a series of flashbacks to tell the story of what happened to Oliver on the island in those five years (a bit like Lost in reverse)…
Let’s be honest – he’s playing him exactly the way he played Ben Linus in Lost, and for Lost fans, that’s a reason to watch the show on its own.
