Lindelof really blessed us with this and The Leftovers. Basically flawless television.

Yeah I kinda checked out on Lost during one of the later seasons but that was probably more me than it.

:lol:

It's one of the best ever. But it's hardly flawless. The Leftovers is really Damon getting to do Lost the way he wanted to. It's good Lost redemption project.

But Lost would still rank higher on my all time list.

Lost: I think watching it when it was on broadcast television made it easier for me to get fed up with the constant stream of new mysteries every week without solving any of the old ones. S4E5 is still one of the best episodes of tv I've ever seen though.

The Leftovers: 10/10 no notes.

Watchmen: 10/10 no notes.

I give Leftovers a 9.5 only because season 1 seemed to lean a little too heavily into the grief eating.

My only complaint with Watchmen is that I want another season (which is also probably a terrible idea).

I'd love to see more from the Lindelof Watchmen universe but as is it's an elite one and done.
