2: Lost
As far as mystery shows go, you really can’t get a better show then Lost. Now if you feel that mystery shows should provide satisfying and logical answers this may not be all you would like…but the sense of mystery is brilliant.
With one of the most elaborate and expensive pilot episodes ever shot Lost deals with a group of survivors of a plane crash on an island that is surrounded with mystery. This goes from monsters in the bushes, to hatches in the ground and numbers that seem to cause bad luck.
The mystery element aside it is the characters that won over the fans here with the likes of Doctor Jack, bad boy Sawyer and bad girl Kate embroiled in the love angle of the naughties, people were just as obsessed with the relationships as they were working out what the island was.
1: 24
And so we come to what is the best show on the Star section of Disney Plus. 24 is a conspiracy based action thriller which was quite unlike anything the preceded it and hasn’t really had anything like it since. With 24 episodes set over a 24 hour period the first season captivated audiences with it’s unique gimmick. The clock would continually be shown ticking throughout the episodes to remind us how much time had gone and how much was left as hero Jack Bauer had to save the US from terrorists who planned to blow up nukes, assassinate presidents and release biological weapons.
This show was revolutionary at the time as it really upped the game for TV shows to rival the kind of action and tension which had only previously been seen on the big screens. And unlike movies, 24 had a full day’s worth of storytelling time to create a compelling story with twists and turns the likes of which a movie couldn’t do.
