Lost - Audience Response

Viewing Figures; --> wiki
- Ranked by critics on their lists of top ten series of all time.
- First season garnered an average of 15.69 million viewers per episode on ABC.
- During its sixth and final season, the show averaged over 11 million U.S. viewers per episode. (this could be due to amount of enigma codes and the long amount of time taken for the answer to be revealed. May have caused more passive audiences to become disinterested as they do not want to decode the text themselves and rely on answers being given to them i.e. the radio scene where Charly asks questions the audience asks and Sayid answers them. However more active audiences will appreciate the enigma codes, and will decode the text and figure out the answers themselves, encouraging them to continuing watching the series.)

Criticisms of the Text;  --> http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Criticism_of_Lost
- Michael's frequent screaming and obsession for his son was noteworthy and frequent enough for it to grate on the audience. 
- After the first season, many viewers of the show began to grow tired of the flashbacks. They were perceived by some to be repetitive and recycling information we were already aware of; flashbacks have gotten less important than they were in the first season, taking away from the on-island story lines.
-Many complain that Lost moved too slowly and there is a lack of answers in the show. This has turned many people off, even Lost fans over time.
