I can’t even imagine the right way to describe a show like Lost, when all is said and done. “It’s a big show that takes a narrow focus on individuals who are mostly insignificant except that they aren’t and it’s about fate and life and death and guilt and chance and love and parents and time and power and the story doesn’t even start at the beginning and we never find out what the beginning is or what anything really means or why and it’s epic and small at the same time and it’s about pawns and gods and god-pawns and parallelisms and symbolism run amok and, basically, everything ever.”
Maybe just “awesome” would do it.
