302: Reflecting on the TV Show LOST: Locke vs Jack vs Ben (Episode 1 of 2)

FIRST OF TWO EPISODES: LOST was a smash hit TV series which aired for 6 seasons, about a group of plane crash survivors marooned on a mysterious island. What intrigues me about it is how it started as a classic, TV hit drama, but slowly evolved to unpack powerful themes, major questions, and an impactful story that probably doesn’t get the credit it deserves. What’s the symbolism of Jacob? Why is John so different to Ben? What’s Jack’s journey? In these two episodes, brother Mitch and I explore the soul of the show, from the depth of the major characters to the big themes and personal takeaways.
