If you’re eager to watch Lost for the first time — or if you’re screaming “We have to go back!” — streaming services have you covered. The hit adventure drama, which aired on ABC between 2004 and 2010, is currently streaming on Hulu and Freevee, and it’s coming back to Netflix on July 1.

Even now, nearly 20 years after Lost’s debut, new viewers are getting hooked. “Started watching Lost yesterday, and it’s so good,” one X user wrote recently. “Started watching Lost this week, and I’m fully hooked,” someone else posted.
