Here's TV Guide's take:
Quote:
Having successfully reinvented the romantic espionage thriller with Alias, JJ Abrams now tackles the disaster and horror genres with dazzling results in the most elaborate and exciting TV ride since 24 . The intense opening hour is at times a study in primal fears, plunging us directly into the nightmarish aftermath of a plane crash that strands 48 survivors on an exotic, mysterious Pacific island. Matthew Fox is terrific as the doctor-hero who leads a mission into the forest - where an unseen but very noisy terror lurks. Score on the 0-10 scale, 9
And plus Merry the hobbit is in it!
