Lost has had over 100 hours of shows, and it is very complex. I could summarize it into something simple:
A plane crashes on an island and strange things start happening to the survivors.
After that, it is way to complex. You could write a whole essage just on one of the characters.
I don’t know of anything quite like it.
That’s supposed to be essay not essage.
I finally went to this guy’s website and I think I get it now - it’s all explained by a time travel conundrum. Which is perfect sci-fi material.
Have you read “The Saragossa Manuscript” by Jan Potocki? It’s a classic of interlocking stories that are initially baffling. If you like Lost, I think you’d like it as well.
