Netflix fans have days left to binge 'the greatest TV series of all time'
Netflix users in the UK only have a matter of days left to binge a show many have described as 'the greatest TV series of all time.' First airing in 2004, Lost helped to revolutionise dramatic television as we know it. Following a group of passengers stranded on a mysterious island after a catastrophic plane crash, it left viewers fascinated, frustrated and infatuated, in equal measure. Following its history-making first season, the show went on to accumulate five more series before coming to an end in May 2010. Since then, viewers have continued to unpack the island's many mysteries, with the show experiencing a resurgence when it was first added to Netflix last August.

But time is now running out for Netflix users to catch up or finish off, with Lost set to leave Netflix on August 15. While its divisive ending may have sent Lost off on a somewhat sour note, it remains well-regarded by fans and critics alike. Its collective six seasons boast an impressive 86% Fresh score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Its audience score sits at an even healthier 89%, with some viewers still holding it up as one of – if not the greatest – TV shows of all time. 'The greatest TV show ever made. Not even close to be honest,' wrote Rotten Tomatoes user Derek R. 'Absolutely amazing, acting was incredible. I will never stop praising/recommending this show 15 years since after its ending,' said Noah P. Boopi H commented: 'One of the most mysterious, magical shows ever presented. nearly every episode came up with new, often mind blowing, twist that left me totally transfixed & begging for more. hated seeing it end.' 'No other show has ever hooked me like LOST did,' said Ray. Over the course of its six seasons, viewers followed the simmering love triangle of tortured surgeon Jack Shepherd (Matthew Fox), criminal Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) and conman Sawyer (Josh Holloway). The three stars led an enormous cast, which also included the mysterious Locke (Terry O'Quinn), loveable Hurley (Jorge Garcia) and creepy Ben Linus (Michael Emerson). While it may have struggled under the weight of its own impenetrable mysteries, the show consistently put out what many have declared some of the best episodes of TV – including the mind-bending season 4 episode The Constant, and season 3's devastating two-part finale, Through the Looking Glass. Its successes may have been overshadowed by a divisive (and arguably oft-misunderstood) ending, but it never Lost (heh) sight of its characters, all of whom still resonate today. Given the show's iconic status, it's inevitable, then, that audiences have been holding out for a reboot or sequel series. Earlier this year, co-executive producer Drew Goddard (who came aboard during its third season) weighed in on the chances of a return to the island, telling Variety: 'This question comes up on various shows that I've done, and I always feel strongly that I don't want to just do karaoke of the show I used to do. 'I'd only be interested if we felt like we could do something special and new within the construct of the show. 'And then some of it just comes down to time and appetite. So there's no plan for it today. But never say never.' Lost may be leaving Netflix in the coming weeks, but UK viewers won't have to look far to find its new home. More Trending All six seasons are now available on the streaming platform ITVX, meaning that those who didn't make it to the end still have their chance to see how it all finishes.

Ancient elite's fingerprint found on LOST seal linked to mystery Biblical doomsday warning and hidden for 2,600 years
Experts find a man's name on the ancient artefact believed to be the same person sent on an important mission by the King in Jerusalem END TIMES Ancient elite's fingerprint found on LOST seal linked to mystery Biblical doomsday warning and hidden for 2,600 years A RARE 2,600 year-old clay seal linked to a Biblical scroll that threatened to curse people with hunger and devastation has been uncovered by stunned archaeologists. The exceptionally well-preserved artefact bears a Hebrew inscription and even a visible fingerprint that could belong to the owner. Advertisement 3 The tiny object names a man thought to have been a senior royal official Credit: Twitter/@TMSifting 3 Artefact even has a clear finger print stamped on it Credit: Twitter/@TMSifting 3 Seal is believed to have been used to seal a bag or storage container Credit: Twitter/@TMSifting It reads "Belonging to Yeda'yah (son of) Asayahu" who is thought to have been a trusted royal official at the time. If true, this links Asayahu to a dramatic moment in the biblical account of King Josiah of Judah, who reigned over Jerusalem for 31 years. According to the Hebrew Bible, a scroll dubbed the "Book of the Law" was rediscovered during King Josiah's time which warned of people's sins and impending divine punishment from God. Those who disobey would be cursed with drought, famine, defeat by enemies and other forms of devastating punishment. Advertisement It was uncovered in the Solomon's Temple which was undergoing repairs in the late First Temple period - between the late 7th and early 6th century BC - after damage by the Babylonians. Workers stumbled across the ancient scroll, known as Sefer haTorah, and immediately alerted the King. A shaken King Josiah is said to have torn his clothes in fear, before enforcing major religious reforms across the land as a result. A group of trusted officials were urgently sent off to purge pagan practices from Jerusalem, destroying altars, idols, and shrines. Advertisement And one of those among them was called Asayahu, described as "the king's servant" - the same name cited on the seal. "Obviously, we are not sure that the Asayahu mentioned on the sealing is the same that appears in the Bible," Archaeologist Zachi Dvira told The Times of Israel. Oldest tablet of 10 Commandments found after being used as PAVING STONE "However, several such artefacts found in the area of the Temple Mount carry biblical names, and it does make sense, because these were not objects used by common people." Other factors that make it highly plausible is due to the fact seals like these were reserved for officials of high rank. Advertisement The object, known as a bulla, was probably used to seal a bag or storage container according to experts. WHAT HAPPENED YEARS AFTER THE SCROLL WAS FOUND? Interestingly, Jerusalem was invaded a few decades after the Sefer haTorah doomsday scroll's discovery. The temple where it was found was destroyed after Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar and his army breached the city's walls amid a series of campaigns. Many died from famine as the city was cut off from outside supplies and deadly diseases spread. The King at the time, King Zedekiah - son of King Josiah - attempted to escape the city but was captured. He was forced to watch the execution of his sons before being thrown into prison, where he remained until his death.
