As much fun as the adventure is, the central mystery — what happened in that motel on that May date that created such cosmic blowback — is never truly explained.

Bizarrely complicated and intriguing.
And while the quest story has the inevitable whiff of The Lord of the Rings about it... the episodes almost feel more like sci-fi Hitchcock than anything else.
It's a supernatural mystery, involving a few ghosts, a little time travel and lots of crazy people. People who have been missing The X-Files might really go for The Lost Room.
"Lost Room" is a shaggy dog story that gets shaggier with every scene. It's a tale as tall as the Empire State Building that threatens to topple in the merest breeze but - miraculously - never does.
A terrific, six-hour miniseries, beautifully written and sharply directed.
A very complex metaphysical mystery, the enjoyment of which comes, in no small part, from the surprises that spill out as it slowly unfurls.
Strange and clever, "The Lost Room" is full of winding corridors, peculiar twists and wry, oddball humor, set against a mystery that recalls TV's better Stephen King productions.
Maybe the best thing about this miniseries is the weird assortment of characters.
A long ride to nowhere but with some nice scenery and exciting turns along the way.
I really enjoyed it, it is very similar to Control (made by Remedy) and its just amazing to watch. And it ended at the right time.
The Lost Room is a good mini-series with a small budget and an unusual idea. There is no star cast, excellent editing or directing. This is a regular B-series that is shot in the thousands. But The Lost Room has an unusual plot where there is mysticism, but the line of delirium does not cross. The format of the mini-series is conditional, and here is the 3 of the series, but in modern realities it is more likely a 6-8 of episodes with a timing of 25-30 minutes. The ending did not even disappoint. Great show, I watched it after I played Control.
