When the series Lost was first shown some years back on Ch4 I loved it. It gripped me week after week with its peculiar plotlines and interesting characters and it made me wonder what was going to happen next and more importantly how it would conclude.
Of course we now know many of those plotlines were left in mid-air and the whole thing ended up with a highly unsatisfactory conclusion.
Now we have a whole raft of series following the same pattern. Set up a head turning wacko "what's going on?" type story... run for maybe one or two series (if your lucky) and then scrap it because it's audience figures have collapsed.
And guess who is usually behind these programmes? The highly overrated JJ Abrams.
I honestly don't know how the bloke gets away with it!
Rant over.
