#2. Lost
ABC
Like a boulder on a desert-island mountain, a Lost season
starts slow, but after a dithering first six episodes, season 3 was an
awesome force. This spring's episodes delved deeper into the mythology
of the mysterious island, then vaulted years ahead in an astonishing,
forehead-smacking finale that set the bar even higher for next season.
In between, we got Desmond's mind-blowing premonitions, invisible mystic
island honcho, Jacob, and the moving death of doomed romantic junkie
Charlie. What more could you want? Only more Lost, and soon.
