Season 1 is frequently cited as among the finest debut seasons in network television history. Critics were blindsided by its ambition: a large-ensemble survival show that was simultaneously a character study, a mythology-builder, and a genre experiment. The pilot is one of the most expensive and universally praised in TV history.
Renewal: Series concluded May 23, 2010 after six seasons and 121 episodes on ABC. (Wikipedia)

The Lost pilot is one of the great two-hour openers in television history. The crash sequence alone is a technical and dramatic achievement; the show establishes Jack, Kate, Charlie, and Locke as immediately distinct presences within minutes. The island is introduced as a character in its own right - something is wrong here, the wreckage is just its most recent exhibit.
Full episode review →The Locke episode. The flashback structure - used on every major character through the run - achieves its first iconic deployment here, revealing Locke's pre-island life in a way that recontextualises everything the show has said about him. The final image is the reason Lost became a cultural phenomenon.
