Lost is a tricky show. It's not for everyone, and if someone decides that it is for them they can't just start watching the show no matter how hard ABC has tried to summarize it and get more people into it. It's not as hot as it was five years ago when the show first started, but it's still a very relevant, viable thing in people's lives and conversations.

The no brainer way to start Lost if you haven't already is on Blu-Ray. If you don't have a player, get one just to start watching the show. The island looks 10x more vibrant and colorful on Blu-Ray than it does on standard television or even on DVD. If you're starting Lost, you might as well start with the Blu-Ray. Some people say it doesn't make a difference, but for a show like Lost it makes all the difference in the world. An island that's supposed to seem vast and mysterious looks warmer and more vibrant in 1080p. You'd expect it to do so, but when you actually see the difference you'll know and see the difference. The sound on the Blu-Ray is also the way to go, the DTS 5.1 master is excellent throughout every episode.

Lost follows a ton of characters and goes in about a million different directions. It's a show that has to be started from the beginning and it's a show that you can totally encapsulate yourself into. Matthew Fox and the rest of the cast on the show all do great jobs with every episode of the show and the writers have really gone above and beyond to tie everything into an enormous storyline. Start watching Lost, and start with it on Blu-Ray, you won't regret it.

The first two seasons just came out on the format and they are worth checking out. Both sets come with 7 discs, (6 for the show and 1 full of bonus features.) The Blu-Ray's also have a cool feature that lets you jump into the show and even if you quit mid episode and don't watch again for a week, you'll go right back to the place you were. With all of the features and the quality of Blu-Ray, it's the way that Lost was mean to be enjoyed.
