sclafunk First of all, the lead, Peter Krause is great. I'm a huge "Six Feet Under" fan, but that's neither here nor there. Julianna Margulies, who I would never expect to see in something this esoteric and weird, it's also very good as the supporting actress. They simply need more tv like this, even tho it's a decade plus old at the time of this review, it still holds up. If you enjoy solid sci fi parallel reality/dimension world building and mind bending metaphysical mystery, this is definitely for you. I know that is not everyone's cup of tea, however if it is this is MUST SEE for any science fiction fan whether you're more on the casual side or the deeper viewer. This is truly one of the best mini series I've ever watched. There's not much else to say and it's pointless to talk about the plot, honestly I would recommend going in knowing as absolute little as humanly possible. I was fortunate enough to do that and I was absolutely enthralled from beginning to end. Just bring an open mind and prepare to have it blown. Everything from the pacing(which I find to be a hugely under rated film/tv attribute, especially in a mini series) to the cinematography is damn near impeccable. My only complaint about this show is that there wasn't a sequel! 10/10 would watch again.....and again and again and again. This makes me wanna see Peter Krause docmore sci fi!! Now having said all that, realize that this is not The Godfather, and makes no attempt to be anything more than what it is. Don't go in looking to pick it apart from a siskel and ebert kinda romp. Anything can be dissected that way, and it kinda defeats the purpose of losing ourselves in film.

Bill Atkin Here in the UK we're a little behind you Americans - about 7 years behind by the look of it! A few weeks ago I was idly flicking between channels, and accidentally happened upon episode 1 of The Lost Room (on a channel called 'Pick TV'). The program reeled me in instantly! It seemed to be a direct descendant of all those great American Sci-Fi series from the 1950s and 1960s - the ones which have an ordinary decent guy pitted against extraordinary events.I had to wait an entire week for episode 2, and I'd completely forgotten what a good feeling it is to look forward to the next instalment of an ongoing series! After the final episode, I was so blown away by the quality of The Lost Room that I emailed the guy who wrote it (Christopher Leone); partly to thank him, but also to find out when the second series would be aired in the UK. Chris very kindly replied saying that it hadn't been ordered to series.WHAT!? It doesn't take a pan-dimensional genius to figure out that The Lost Room has created the perfect framework for a long-running TV series - there are so many story possibilities. It's been AGES since there's been any TV Sci-Fi of this calibre, and it would be a crying shame if this idea wasn't allowed to progress.I don't know what the world is coming to sometimes. I really don't.

Mark Rogers When I first started watching The Lost Room I really didn't think I would like it, but after the first half an hour I was hooked and couldn't stop watching it. I think overall everything was really good but there were some things that I did not like about the miniseries.For the people they picked for the actors and actresses I think they did a good job. To me all the actors and actresses were really good and they all really played out their character. Especially Joe Miller (Peter Krause) when his daughter disappeared through Room 10 he was going to do anything and everything to get his little girl back. Also I really liked how they added a couple characters, Wally Jabrowski (Peter Jacobson) and Harold Stritzke (Ewen Bremner) in the show to give the audience a good laugh. All the characters in this show really brought out the miniseries though.I was happy with the story but there were some things that I did not like. I really liked where they went with it everything just fitted together. One thing that I really didn't like was the ending. They could have gone on so much longer with the miniseries, it was a cliffhanger. They could have gone and explained what all the objects do or find out what they did. That was one thing that I was disappointed about is that we don't know what all the objects do. Only the choice few that was important to get Joe Miller's daughter back. Also at the end when Joe finally did get his daughter out of Room 10 they could have went and had Anna Miller (Elle Fanning) explain where she actually went and all the things she seen. Also whatever happened to Dr. Ruber (Dennis Christopher) no one knows. Did he continue searching for the objects with The Order or did he just stop? Another thing that really got me was at the end when Joe put the Hotel Room 10 Key in the room, shut the door, and then opened it again it was gone, but right before the series ended it showed the room key still laying on the floor.Overall though I really loved this miniseries, everything was amazing it all fit together and it just wasn't thrown together it was really planned out. I would really love to see this show come back and continue with a series.

tucher11 Over all I thought that The Lost Room was a very good miniseries. It's actually the best miniseries I have ever seen. The story line was really good, full of different twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. For the most part it kept me interested throughout the entire four and half hours. Now i am not going to lie at first I thought it dragged on, while it tried to get the story rolling, but after that it was really good. I Actually wish they would have continued the miniseries and explained what all the other objects did or maybe create another series about them collecting all of the other objects and destroying them. There are just so many different things they could still do with this movie. I am really surprised that I didn't hear about it until now.Overall I would have to say that the acting was good and that all of the characters were good. All of the actors and actresses were very believable and brought their characters to life. You felt empathy toward Joe Miller after he lost his daughter. Even the supporting characters were really good from Howard "The Weasel" Montague to Harold Stritzke (the keeper of the comb). They played their parts to perfection making me believe that they all could actually be like that. Karl Kreutzfeld and Dr. Martin Ruber especially had me going because one moment you thought they were good but next thing you know they are turning on everyone and throwing aside anyone that was helping them. I wished they could have done more with the characters like Wally Jobrowski and Harold Stritzke like show what they were doing while all of this is going on or maybe like what happened to them after it was all over but like I said it was good overall.
