The Lost Room (TV mini-series 2006): A detective investigates a mysterious motel room, which acts as a portal to alternate universe. (8.3)
Stars: Peter Krause, Julianna Margulies and Peter Jacobson
Surprisingly original and well thought-out story. It is complex and has many twists and turns. Had this been a longer series, it could have gone in many wild directions for several seasons. It has the right amount of suspense, humor and intrigue. Very interesting how it uses various human tendencies to build the characters. Took me several days to watch all the episodes. Highly recommend it. Read more in the Wikipedia entry if you wish, but it contains spoilers. My Rating: 8.0
