Rank all the post-Lost Mystery Box shows


After the surprise success of Lost, everybody wanted to cash in with their own similar TV series. These were basically shows that mixed sci-fi with soapy character drama and tried to sell the show on a mystery angle that was meant to hook the viewer in, with nearly every episode ending on some kind of cliffhanger. None of these shows were truly great, but some were pretty good or at least somewhat promising, some were just mediocre and dragged.

I think literally none of these shows had a proper series finale (Jericho probably comes the closest), though Manifest seems like it has the best opportunity to do that since it's headed for a third season. Debris is the latest such show and it's off to a mediocre start. That it has the lowest IMDB rating of the entire bunch does not bode well.

1. Invasion - 7.5/10
2. Threshold - 7/10
3. The River - 7/10
4. Alcatraz - 6.5/10
5. Surface - 6/10
6. Flashforward - 6/10
7. Jericho - 6/10
8. Revolution - 6/10
9. The Crossing - 6/10
10. Under the Dome - 5.5/10
11. Persons Unknown - 5.5/10
12. Emergence - 5.5/10
13. The Whispers - 5/10
14. Resurrection - 5/10
15. The Event - 5/10
16. Debris - 5/10
17. Manifest - 4/10

I'm watching invasion at the moment and I'm really enjoying it. Going to be disappointed when it ends.

My wife and I watched it in the original run. We couldn't believe it got canceled.
