As I said its very character driven and the stories are very well written to allow you to find out things about the characters from the past while watching them develop. There are all sorts of little touches that show how the characters pasts have crossed paths, or are linked with each other and different things that are currently occurring, this goes along way to explaining their behaviour in certain situations while on the island.

If you have missed certain episodes you will miss some of these little connections, the episode about Hurley that Marcel has mentioned above, fills in lots of details about a character that up until then seemed to be taking a side line, but once those details became known you then realise how big a part he has played through all the previous episodes.

Just watching one episode from the middle of the series or even worse part of one episode will not give a fair overview of what this series is about or how well written it really is.

Admittedly it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea but its certainly different and refreshing from the majority of drivel that we have had on TV for a good while.
