You might really enjoy it then. Your first paragraph will probably translate to lost really well.

My issue was more on the writing direction. I like the story to feel like it was written to tell a specific story and mean something, and for characters to play an organic role in making that happen.

Lost to me felt like the story was made up as they went along, and took a backseat to the writers just wanting to surprise people. Characters too, felt like their behavior and arcs were written to surprise watchers and keep moving the goal post of unraveling the next mystery, rather then them having a meaningful identity and story of their own to tell.

The acting was strong though.

The writers generally knew where the story was going from the beginning, there was an issue with the network not granting them an end date until mid way through season 3 but after that they made arguably the two best seasons with 4 and 5. Not a big fan of season 6 as whole but I do think the series finale wrapped it up the best it could.
