Netflix Adds Lost Seasons 1 - 4 on Streaming in HD

Netflix quietly added Lost Seasons 1 - 4 on Netflix streaming in HD, and only season 2 requires a DVD.

I'll never forgot the opening plane crash scene...

Thanks to Adam for sending this in.

Yes! Love that show! Does this mean the upcoming season(5) will also be available Instant Watch a day or two after airing? Love it!! With this addition, and Leverage, I am completely hooked. Well done Netflix!!

Season 2 requires a dvd? this summary is confusing. Is it on streaming or not?

This is awesome! Thanks for the headsup.

it pains me to see 193 on the instant queue in the picture - I hope the buttons on the roku control are durable.

When will netflix add category browsing a la Amazon ?
every movie already has a netflix category, I don't understand why it's so hard

maybe a topic for another post ?

It looks like it's just the bonus features of season 2 that require a disc. Funnily enough, the bonus features of the seasons besides 2 aren't even listed.

Hmmm...maybe there's too much demand for Lost, because Netflix appears to be down right now:

"Netflix Site Error

Click the button, same message.

This is a non-event as folks have always been able to view episodes of Lost at www.abc.com

ABC is also making a new website available in Beta mode here: http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/lost

@Fred, it doesn't look like Season 2 actually requires a DVD. All of the episodes (1-25) are there. On my Xbox, I see that there are episodes 26-30, but I don't know what they can be since all of Season 2 is accounted for.

AHHH can't wait for season 6!

RE Edward Murrow--

Being able to watch something online, and being able to stream it to my TV, mark a significant difference for me. I do very little of the former, and quite a lot of the latter. So I may have to take advantage of this sometime and rewatch all those Lost episodes.

Wow! This is the best news ever! Really. I honestly never thought they would do it because it was an ABC show.

I've been re-renting them from Netflix because I'm getting ready for season 6.

Edward Murrow -

I am an avid fan of the show and you can't watch all 100+ episodes from the past 5 seasons of Lost on ABC. So yes, for us LOST fans, this is an event.

Great way of getting ready for the last season!
