J.J. Abrams' inventive cult sci-fi series is now streaming for free

J.J. Abrams helped co-create Lost, the iconic prototype for engrossing puzzle-box television that thrives on shock reveals and irresistible mysteries. The show’s unforgettable 2004 pilot — also directed by Abrams — introduced fans to a disoriented Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox), who wakes up in a jungle, surveys the wreckage of Oceanic Flight 815, and aids those who survived.
