How does a story capture us !!

I have been watching the highly popular TV show Lost for the last few weeks. Currently I am watching the season 5 and truly I found the story line fascinating.
The concept of the show where people from different backgrounds crash in to an island and then how they learn to survive, live together, fight, love and also learn a lot about themselves.
Each character has been so beautifully created ,every viewer will find someone in the show to relate to and I believe that's something that has made LOST one of the most watched shows of all time.

Apart from this, the supernatural elements in the episodes time travel, unknown forces affecting the turn of events are other reasons why people were drawn to the tale of  LOST oceanic 815.
Although its been 5 years since the show ended its still a great story by any means , I am not sure if anyone disagrees.
You must be thinking why are you are reading this blog about a TV show that you had seen in your younger days and may not hold any relevance today. If you have been reading this so far( I hope you have been, please excuse my bad writing skills), what I mean to imply is that I am just trying to figure out how many such amazing stories have been created by human mind.
Starting from writers like Anton chekov, Stephen king,  O henry, who created so many magical short stories and fictions  not to forget James Cameroon  for giving us Terminator, Aliens, Abyss  and now these script writers of the TVs who keep churning captivating tales  that keeps us hooked to the TV.

I have always wanted to create something like these  but failed to figure where to start and how to pick the characters . I believe most important is to make the characters believable to the audience and keep some mystery element alive something that teases the curiosity of the audience   and not to forget everyone likes a good story. Time travel is always a fascinating element in any story from the early days of HG well's Time machine to the X Men future past, Terminator series and Edge of tomorrow all of these bring so many dimension to the Time travelling plot.
 

Hopefully sometime I will create something that might be able to satisfy the cravings of stimulating story for the story lovers .
