I’m almost through the first of three two-hour installments of the Sci-Fi miniseries “The Lost Room,” which stars Peter Krause (“Six Feet Under”) as a detective investigating a mysterious hotel key. It turns out that the motel key can open any door in the world, but first leads the user to a motel room where something “very bad” happened.
I don’t want to give anything else away, but suffice to say, anyone who likes a good sci-fi tale will probably enjoy the first two hours. It looks like Sci-Fi is going to air all three installments in a row on Sunday (12/17) night.
I’ve witnessed a few bad Sci-Fi movies in the past, but this isn’t one of them, which is probably why Krause and Juliana Margulies (“ER”) signed on. I’m really starting to dig original cable programming…”Battlestar Galactica,” “Nip/Tuck,” “The Shield,” “Rescue Me,” “The Closer” and “Eureka,” just to name a few. These are good (to great) shows that wouldn’t survive on regular broadcast television.
