Lost is one of the 3 most influential TV shows along with The Sopranos and The Office so I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I don’t think The Sopranos has a much stronger foothold in actual pop culture than Lost, I don’t see significantly more Sopranos discussion than Lost, and depending on what you watch, I would say Lost is even MORE discussed. Does any reviewer talk about Yellowjackets without referencing Lost?

3 most influential???!!! Hahahaha no. It's was revolutionary but definitely not top 3. Same thing for the office! I would put GOT above both this shows in influential! Every tv studio have been trying to recreate that magic.

No one would touch a massive genre project like Game of Thrones if it wasn’t for Lost

Lol what! There are many shows that owe their existence to lost but GOT is not one of them. LOTR and Rome are probably more the reason a show like GOT was able to be made

I’m not saying Lost is the primary influence on the content of GoT, I’m saying Lost proved that it was feasible to make a big budget genre show on TV. Yes, Rome existed, but it also got cancelled for being way too expensive. Lost actually ran for multiple seasons and kept a pretty huge following. That’s the difference. LOTR isn’t a TV show so not sure what to say there
