Lost star Evangeline Lilly recently revealed in an interview that she cringes while watching the early seasons of the critically acclaimed show. In the podcast, Lilly admitted that she felt she was not very good in the beginning and would cringe during Kate-centric episodes. However, her opinion changed by season three as she started to feel more comfortable in her role.

Lost, created by J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, and Jeffrey Lieber, was a sci-fi drama series that ran from 2004 to 2010. It followed the survivors of an airliner crash on a mysterious island and used flashbacks, flashforwards, and "flash-sideways" to tell its story.

For Lilly, Lost was a turning point in her career. It was her first major role and she received acclaim for her performance as Kate. Despite her self-deprecating view of her acting in the early seasons, Lilly's portrayal of Kate led to the character becoming one of the longest-lasting and most intriguing on the show.

After Lost ended, Lilly went on to work in major film franchises such as The Hobbit and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where she played the role of Hope van Dyne. While she may cringe at her performance in the early seasons of Lost, there is no denying the impact the show had on her career.

Despite its declining viewership in later seasons due to its confusing and complicated storyline, Lost remains a significant part of pop culture. And without Lilly's early work on the show, she might not have achieved the success and recognition she has today.
