On-set tensions between writers, producers, and actors appeared to solely worsen all through the present’s six-season run.
In one other excerpt from Ryan’s e-book, showrunner Damon Lindelof admitted that he “failed” when it got here to offering an inclusive expertise, each on digital camera and off. He mentioned:

He continued to verify the backlash that was from each followers and actors alike: that the present’s important focus was solely on the white characters.
Each single actor had expressed a point of disappointment that they weren’t getting used sufficient. That was form of half and parcel for an ensemble present, however clearly there was a disproportionate quantity of concentrate on Jack and Kate and Locke and Sawyer — the white characters.
