10 Best Lost Episodes to Rewatch Once It Hits Netflix

Even though there has been a lot of behind-the-scenes drama that has come out years after the show ended, there is no way any other sci-fi series could ever match the brilliance of Lost. The show that started with one of the most expensive pilots on television has only developed further over the years.

Now that Lost is going to be available for streaming on Netflix starting July 1, you better be ready to start your rewatch. And if you don't have time to binge the entire show, but want to remember the highlights, here are the 10 best Lost episodes, according to IMDb.

10. The Man Behind the Curtain (S3E20) — 9.2/10

This episode introduced viewers to Ben's origin story, showing everything from his mother's tragic death to his father's abuse. The episode was refreshing, the acting as brilliant as ever, the story compelling. Also, this episode introduced a twist on Locke that no one was expecting — what more can you ask for?

9. Exodus: Part 2 (S1E24) — 9.2/10

It was only to be expected that the show that started with the most expensive and one of the most impressive pilots on television would come up with the 3-part season finale that blew everyone away. The arrival of 'others' was just the push the show needed to raise the stakes and keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

8. Ab Aeterno (S6E9) — 9.2/10

This episode is arguably one of the most interesting and fulfilling character-driven episodes of the entire series, following the story of Richard's life. Lost leans heavily into mythic storytelling, outlines the purpose of the island, and even hints at what the finale might be. This episode has it all and is well worth revisiting.

7. Pilot: Part 1 (S1E1) — 9.2/10

The fact that the most talked-about and universally acclaimed pilot in television history ends up in 7th place by viewers' criteria is a testament to how much the show has evolved and improved over the course of its run. To this day, however, Lost's pilot remains one of the best first episodes ever, one that can be revisited over and over again.

6. Exodus: Part 3 (S1E25) — 9.3/10

Continuing the story begun in Exodus: Part 2, which landed at #9 on the list, it was the perfect finale to the first season and created one of the biggest cliffhangers on television. Be thankful for the opportunity to re-watch the show on streamers, as longtime fans remember the pain of sitting through the hiatus.

5. Live Together, Die Alone: Part 1 (S2E23) — 9.4/10
4. Live Together, Die Alone: Part 2 (S2E24) — 9.4/10

Another multi-part finale landed on the exact same rating and was just as amazing for all viewers. Two hours of mysterious twists and devastating revelations for both the characters in the universe and the viewers on the other side of their screens. You'll learn more about Ben, Desmond and Michael, but you won't like the truth.

3. Through the Looking Glass: Part 1
(S3E22) — 9.7/10
2. Through the Looking Glass: Part 2
(S3E23) — 9.7/10

With each passing season, the final episodes have become more and more intriguing. The Season 3 finale was teased to be a total game-changer in the way viewers saw Lost, and it did not disappoint in the slightest.

Through the Looking Glass traded flashbacks for flashforwards and gave viewers the most iconic line of the entire series: ‘We have to go back.’

1. The Constant (S4E5) — 9.7/10

This episode has to be one of the best hours of TV ever because Lost shows everything it has to offer to its viewers. It has just enough intrigue, drama, romance, and emotion to make anyone cry by the end, even if they had no idea what was going on most of the time. Desmond's time jumps will forever be remembered as Lost's blueprint for all sci-fi stories.
