    A decent show that, yes, wasn't the best, but certainly not the worst. It had it's moments and was a pretty good watch overall.

    Season 1 was probably the best because it had really stuck to the novel in the first six episodes, but then started to become more of the Indiana Jones type era which was still good but not as good as the first six episodes.

    Season 2 was second best as it concentrated very well on the adventure style themes and did it pretty well. Season 3 was probably the worst. It tried to tie everything together and just came up with this extremely weird plot and difficult to understand storylines. But still, worth a watch if you want to get a mild thrill.

    Entertaining. hide « show »

    The Lost World is an excellent action/adventure series inspired by the Conan Doyle book of the same name. Unlike the book, the characters here are trapped in the Lost World and struggle weekly against hostile creatures, inhabitants, and against the mysterious force which created the Lost World.

    The show, however, is much more than a simple run of the mill science fiction series, although it works quite well that way as well. The characters are complex, well rounded and interesting. Sometimes they struggle with their relationships with each other as much as with their environment. The growing romance, despite the obstacles presented by their vastly different and emotionally scarring backgrounds, between the Roxton and Marguerite characters has become a centerpiece of the show. The character of Challenger, so brutish and one dimensional in the book, has grown and changed over over the course of the series into a fully developed and interesting character while still maintaining his core focus and scientific genius. The addition of the character of Veronica Layton as the explorer's guide and host on the Lost World was an inspired addition. Veronica brings a humanity and nurturing presence and provides the emotional glue that hold the group together.

    Altogether, The Lost World is a unique and compelling show which is well worth your time. Only the most superficial of reviews would dismiss this show as nothing more than another science fiction show. The show offers something for everyone and I highly recommend it.

    9.5 Superb

    Compelling, Adventurous, Intense hide « show »

    Three fantastic seasons running from 1999 to 2002. This show gave us adventure, comradarie, fun, intensity, and laughter. The characters were compelling and much fun to watch, to see them mature and develope. The writing was excellent and the comedic timing superb. The antagonism between Marguerite and Roxton was divine, as was the tension between Ned and Veronica. The professors were always a great source of humor. Adventure shows like this one are one of my favorites because they can give you everything from laughter to intensity. This one was no exception, it was a phenomenal show and will always be much loved and missed!!!

    This was an awesome show, why did they ever cancel it? hide « show »

    i really like this show, and have seen a lot of episodes, but i can still not see why they cancelled this series. i started watching this series at the same time as BeastMaster but i have to say that really like this one a whole lot better. The idea of explorers being on an island that was habited by all kinds of prehistoric creatures like dinosaurs is just awesome. i felt that i could almost get to know the characters just by watching one episode. this will always be one of favourite and most original storylines ever that i have seen. later.
