There are definitely no spoilers on any of the DVDs for future seasons. Watch and enjoy!

From what I've seen the show is pretty consistent. If you like the first four episodes you'll like the rest. For what it's worth, I think the seasons are too long (I like the cable/BBC 9-13 episode seasons) and I don't really like any of the characters so my enjoyment consists of the various plot points/mysteries.

I think the best thing that happened to Lost was when the producers and the network reached an agreement at the end of season three to end the show after three more shortened seasons. That allowed the story-telling to kick into high gear. I think that producing fewer episodes per season also made for a better show.

But you "don't really like any of the characters"? Really? I'm getting pretty tired of Jack and Kate myself, but most of the rest of the cast is outstanding. Sawyer, Juliet, Hurley, Desmond, Sun & Jin, Ben, Locke... They're the main reason I watch Lost!
