Guarantee you won't stop. A decent chunk of the Lost audience kept watching (me included) just to see how much they were planning on fucking things up.
Also, there's a lot of debate over which seasons were good, and I'm not sure you could say with confidence that 1-4 are good while the rest suck. By all means, each season or chunk of episodes was as good as the others, it's just that the problem was on the large scale
Lost is a gigantic bait and switch. Its small scale quality is above mainstream TV yet below premier TV like HBO, yet it was a macro disaster. I'm only saying this because it's very intriguing superficially, and if you start watching it you'll most likely finish the whole thing
However, it's possible there's value to watching it inasmuch as they did such a good job of making intriguing mystery stuff that simply being told it wouldn't deliver might not be enough to sway the feeble human mind upon the tricky experience. With two whole seasons left to go, I was fully confident the ending process would not deliver, yet still watched anyways, and honestly enjoyed the process of watching as well as bagging on it later
