I missed the craze when it was a network show, but too many people I know were invested in this show.
I am currently watching the pilot and have already loudly laughed twice at how bad it is.
Also I fricking hate every piece of media that JJ Abrams has ever even considered working on

I think it's one of the first big instances of a mystery box collapsing in on itself.
A twitter quote from TVTropes mentions this phenomena with a later example (Game of Thrones)

High quality reply. Whether or not you like Breaking Bad I always cite that Vince Gilligan came to the network with the story pitch and told them on day 1 that there would be 5 seasons, and only 5 seasons. The story has a defined narrative arc.
It's a symptom of the move from episodic to over-arching narrative television, IMO.
Love em or hate em, Seinfeld and Friends didn't really have to ever worry about explaining what happened in the prior episode.
