Lost. The first episode is a master-class in both "show and don't tell" and setting up "mystery boxes." It was downhill from there.
Nearly everything up until they went into the hatch was gold. Mysteries to the point of putting on closed captions to see the type of sounds the smoke monster made (IIRC, "mechanical whirling sounds"). Then it all just got sillier and sillier and stupider and stupider.
That's always the problem with "mystery box" storytelling. It will always disappoint. There's no real storytelling, just "wouldn't it be cool if..." and then no real follow up.
