“The Lost Room” is a TV miniseries like none other I have seen before. A synopsis of the story makes it sound simple. Detective Joe Miller, played by Peter Krausse, is looking for his daughter Anna who disappeared inside a mysterious motel room. That´s where the simplicity ends though because, as it turns out, the room is outside of space and time. It occupies many different places at once and you can access it only with a key. To add to the complexity of the story items from that very motel room have strange powers. The strangeness of this story make it a really fun watch.
TV or online media could always use a good story, an original story, and this one fits those criteria. It is much more than your garden variety detective tale because the mystery is so strange. It is also a fresh idea for the sci-fi genre, which is in dire need of fresh ideas. Not to mention that I could not help but respect the characters´motivations, even the villain had redeeming qualities. I also liked the backstory of the room, although I wish they delved a little deeper into it.
“The Lost Room” is a fun watch and good storytelling. So check it out.
