The Lost Room is sci-fi thriller that manages to entertain and stay fresh throughout the entire series. Peter Krause plays a very believable character who I could not help but feel sorry for as he desperately tries to find his lost daughter. The plot of the miniseries managed to stay fresh I felt compelled to finish watching even though I felt that the end result of the series was predictable. However, I did enjoy how the antagonist of the show kept changing as the show developed its characters and plot. Kevin Pollak played a very interesting antihero who I also pitied for the sad circumstances that he found himself in, but I did not agree with or like the way he chose to go about solving his problem. Which is why by the end of the series I did not care what happened to him or what would become of his son. Dennis Christopher also took a turn at playing the villain in this series. I enjoyed watching this character at first but I felt as the show progressed that he became unnecessary to the plot of the show and I found the thought of him being a prophet ridiculous and unneeded. Another notion of this show that I felt was unneeded was the love interest between Peter Krause's character (Joe Miller) and Julianna Margulies' character (Jennifer Bloom). I enjoyed watching their characters relationship as it developed on screen but I felt that it should not have taken the romantic turn that it did and instead should of stayed with a partnership that both characters pulled off so well. I also felt the show did not use all of the tools they had at hand with such a large amount of mysterious objects and literally an unlimited amount of creativity most of the objects were dull and predictable. I will mention the glass eye and the pen that were interesting and fresh but as far as the rest go I was not very surprised or interested. Overall, I did enjoy watching the show but I felt that it fell short of what how good it could have possibly been.
