fearfulofspiders I use to watch this show in the morning -- back when it was airing in syndication -- and it was just a great time. The acting is okay here and there, but most of the times it's really hammy. The special effects in the first season are laughable, while the later episodes tend to use the same CG templates over and over again. The stories only go linear near the season finales and premieres, otherwise, the typical episode is danger-predicament-next time on... etc. The writing is okay, though is probably the helping hand that makes it so ridiculously fun to watch.Overall, The Lost World (TV series) is a good show to watch when you're waking up, and can get engaging when the story follows a linear time line. It's sad that that production had to close due to costs, leaving us with unanswered questions, which would be nice of the studios to give the fans a bit of closure. I recommend it only if one wouldn't get heartbroken over an incomplete story.
LBeleele For those of us who love living in fantasy worlds, The Lost World series is all you could ask. The show, not only has action, but a continuing story line, growing relationships between the characters, and both actors and characters that you can care about(a hard to find combination on TV or at the movies). I love "tough women", women who can hold their own and slug it out with the best. Rachel Blakely and Jennifer O'Dell prove to be that and more - You grow to love both, for their faults and blessings. Also a rarity is a show that teaches a worthwhile moral: Being willing to sacrifice self for your friends, family or loved ones is more important than gold and jewels. I only wish there were more episodes to relive the fantasy.
markd8405t5000 The Lost World is a great show. 3 seasons, 66 episodes of intriguing adventure. The series follows the book loosely, yes , how many shows follow the book they are modeled after word for word. The worst thing that could have been written into the show would have been too many dinosaurs, making it another Jurassic Park, thats already been done thank you. The story lines range from apemen to the afterlife, anything is possible in the lost world, thats the point. By playing TV critic you miss the whole point of the show. Its a well written adventure series with interesting characters and story lines, it is not "Gone With The Wind", it was never meant to be. If you want classic drama read Mody Dick, if you want action and adventure The Lost World is for you.
jhunt-3 The Lost World is an excellent action/adventure series inspired by the Conan Doyle book of the same name. Unlike the book, the characters here are trapped in the Lost World and struggle weekly against hostile creatures, inhabitants, and against the mysterious force which created the Lost World.The show, however, is much more than a simple run of the mill science fiction series, although it works quite well that way as well. The characters are complex, well rounded and interesting. Sometimes they struggle with their relationships with each other as much as with their environment. The growing romance, despite the obstacles presented by their vastly different and emotionally scarring backgrounds, between the Roxton and Marguerite characters has become a centerpiece of the show. The character of Challenger, so brutish and one dimensional in the book, has grown and changed over over the course of the series into a fully developed and interesting character while still maintaining his core focus and scientific genius. The addition of the character of Veronica Layton as the explorer's guide and host on the Lost World was an inspired addition. Veronica brings a humanity and nurturing presence and provides the emotional glue that hold the group together.Altogether, The Lost World is a unique and compelling show which is well worth your time. Only the most superficial of reviews would dismiss this show as nothing more than another science fiction show. The show offers something for everyone and I highly recommend it.
