Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It may be indecipherable to newcomers, but those that have managed to stick with Lost will know that it continues to be the most addictive programme currently on television.
Fantastic production values and a strong cast, including Naveen Andrews, Matthew Fox and Terry O'Quinn, all have a part to play in this, but the real reason why its viewers not only stay glued to each episode but spend hours discussing it afterwards, are the constant twists and mysteries posed.
In this, the penultimate season, the lives of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 continue to be complicated further as some of the characters find themselves leaping through time. As always, it can be hard to keep up, but this is to the credit of Lost – it is rare to find a show that chooses to maintain such a complex story, although it means that if you are tempted to watch it for the first time then you have no choice but to start at the beginning.
The show appears to have been imbued with a greater sense of purpose ever since the producers announced in 2007 that the sixth season would be the last, and as a result this penultimate season is one of the best, ensuring Lost enters the final straight as strong as ever.
