the characters, the mythology, the atmosphere it cultivates, the pacing and storytelling 
this is coming from someone who originally absolutely hated the entire final season and especially the finale....but on a second viewing you're able to appreciate it, and the show itself, so much more there has never been and never will be a show like it again
breaking bad, the wire, sopranos etc are all great shows but the aura Lost had was unparalleled...almost every single episode leaving you shocked or intrigued and ready to see what happens next; I already knew everything that was gonna happen and still found myself runnin thru the seasons eager to see more, an epic mystery on that kind of scale is incredible when you really think about it
sure they could have done more in the way of answering questions viewers had about the island lore and why some things were how they were, and that's why me and a lot of other fans felt like the final season was kind of a letdown at first...but when you realize the island was just a backdrop for the characters and situations, instead of the central point of the show, it's much easier to accept it as the GOAT...don't get me wrong, I still would wanna know Jacob's brother's name, where their "mother" and her people came from, the origins of the statue and other on island shyt, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter and it doesn't detract from the show's greatness at all
and to think it was an ABC show, imagine what a premier network like HBO could have done with it
see ya in another life brotha

I agree with a lot of what you said, minus the GOAT stuff, but you're the troll gawd, so I don't know how to take this thread.
I've seen some of it before but never got around to finishing it
It's def a top 5 goat show for me.
