Overview: Escape to a place of unforgettable adventure, mystery and suspense with Jack, Sawyer, Kate, Hurley and the Others as the first two seasons of the critically acclaimed and enormously popular television series LOST arrive in on Blu-ray for the first time on June 16, 2009.

DVD Verdict: To me, 'LOST' is still the best TV series of the third millennium! I am very surprised that a TV series can be made this good these days when cost cutting and declining standards seems to be the norm everywhere else. But, not in the world of television, it seems!

Well, as you know by now, 'LOST' employs a cast of dozens to tell a big story. How big the story is? We all still don't know yet, as it seems that we could have another few seasons to allow it to run its course - thankfully! But, slowly, what begins as your run of the mill airliner crash survivors story keeps adding layers on top of layers, expands, branches out in unexpected directions and, episode after episode after episodes keeps us mesmerized, guessing, mourning those lost and left behind, surprised, intrigued and always ready for more!

The first season started a bit slowly and, speaking for myself, I didn't care much for the first couple of episodes. People struggled with overcoming extreme circumstances, there were multiple stories of friendship, solidarity, spontaneous cooperation, the inevitable conflicts between people of many different upbringings, chasing different dreams, sometimes competing for the same rewards. Facing danger, the unknown and, what appears to be, the incomprehensible, the initial state of anarchy spontaneously gains textures and a fragile structure.

The first season is mostly about our heroes' survival and their struggle to go back to what used to be the `normal' life. Scenes of life and struggle on the island are often interrupted by increasingly disturbing flashbacks and puzzling hints that little that's going on is accidental, random or `normal'. The survivors are tied to each other in most surprising ways and, little by little, the supernatural, the mysterious and the plain unbelievable begin to manifest.

And, as we again all now know, we begin to learn that the island is not what it seems to be. There are monsters and unexpected beasts roaming in the woods - there are hints of other inhabitants and the familiar laws of nature don't seem to always apply!

'LOST' has an incredibly well-written story line, season after season, with some great acting and thus it's shown to us in the highest quality picture and HD sound. It is, without a doubt, one of the best TV series I've watched in a long, long time.

So season 1 left off with Locke and Jack finding a hatch. In season 2, we learn exactly what is in the hatch, why it's there, and its incredible importance, not only to the island, but to the rest of the world as well.

We also left off with Walt being kidnapped by "The Others". Will Michael end up finding him? And at what lengths will he go to do so? And really who exactly are these "Others?" How did they arrive on the island? What are their purpose? Are they enemies of the plane crash survivors or are the survivors enemies to THEM?

Oh and you know how the people in the tail end of the plane were supposed to have died? Not so much. This season we're introduced to a few new characters with incredibly different personalities but who bring a whole lot to the show. Most noteably Mr. Eko (a priest with a drug-filled past) and Ana Lucia who you may remember from season 1 (she befriended Jack at the airport).

And of course, new characters mean new stories and new flashbacks. I personally think one of the most interesting parts of the show are the flashbacks into the characters' lives. They all seem to tie into the island somehow. The bigger question is do these tie ins have anything to do with how these people got on the island?

What about the "old" characters from the first season? We learn a whole lot more about their former lives and even a few of them start relationships with each other. Unfortunately for them, this season brings out their fears and anger and their true selves.

As questions get answered, more and more questions are asked, leaving us wondering whether or not we're ever going to find out the meaning of everything. But that's exactly what 'Lost' is all about.
