Getting LOST 2024
Loved this show and the documentary did a great job touching on a vast array of things.

I absolutely love when I go into a movie blind and it turns out to be something so spellbinding that I am not only completely satisfied while watching it, but I can’t stop thinking about it afterward. Those are the gems. (read more here )
