Yup, and every time it does, it gets better and better, so you learn to roll with and love the random twists because they just pay off so damn well. The show gets lighter as it goes, and as it does, it finds it's sweet spot with the best balance of light and dark moments. Power through the first season, even if you find overly depressing, which I did not, but I've heard that some do, but I'm sure that you have the mental fortitude to stand up to the emotional gut punches that the show delights in making you eat, and when you do then the reward in the end will be very much worth it, I assure you.
The third and final season of the show has thus far been the best thing on television this year, Lindelof learned his lessons from LOST, and absolutely nailed the ending, what a season of television.
