Lost was a show @Treygdor and I bonded over early in our relationship. Breaks my heart to know the meat grinder writers and actors, especially people of color and women were put through.
‘Lost’ was a gripping, groundbreaking smash, but the show evolved into such a toxic production that even co-showrunner Damon Lindelof now says of his leadership: “I failed.”

@lindaholmes 100% 99pi. Roman Mars the most comforting voice, like a warm and informative hug before sleep. And it’s almost never gloomy. Also love I Said No Gifts! for the same reasons.
