Last Season of Underrated Fantasy Series,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World - Season Three (DVD)
It's easy for Arthur Conan Doyle purists to find fault with the Australian-produced "Lost World" television series, but for sheer escapism, this enjoyable series had a lot to offer fans; better-than-average CGI dinosaur effects, a wonderful, attractive cast who could actually act, storylines that were always entertaining, if frequently derivative, and, best of all, the glorious, lush Australian landscape, substituting for an uncharted plateau in South America.
The series was an extremely expensive one to produce, requiring a large group of investors (including New Line) to finance it, and by the third season, further difficulties arose, most notably the Australian work laws, which forced American actress Jennifer O'Dell (the gloriously sexy Veronica), and Canadian actor David Orth (American journalist Ned Malone) to severely limit their appearances. While losing two leads could have been disasterous, the series actually became more interesting, with the long-smouldering romance between daredevil Lord John Roxton (Will Snow) and gorgeous 'Woman with a Past' Marguerite Krux (Rachel Blakely) finally igniting, and the introduction of a young refugee from the future, Finn (Lara Cox), providing a sarcastic foil to team leader George Challenger (Peter McCauley). With the easy comraderie developed over the show's run, and the improved writing a frequently smaller cast provided, Season Three of "The Lost World" was a continuing pleasure. Sadly, after producing the "Cliffhanger to end ALL Cliffhangers" as the season finale, funding ran out, and "The Lost World" was not picked up for a fourth season. While the series has a large, very loyal fan base, and the entire cast have expressed a willingness to return to their roles, frequent attempts to revive it, at least as a 'Made-for-TV' movie, have failed, and it appears unlikely that the fate of Professor Challenger's band of adventurers will ever be resolved. If you are a fan (like me), Season 3 will complete a cherished collection; if you have never seen "The Lost World", buying this collection will provide you with some of the most exciting, romantic episodes of a truly remarkable fantasy series, and will certainly whet your appetite for the first two seasons, which are available on DVD, as well! What an adventure you have in store for you!

An opinion from northern CA,
By A Customer
This review is from: LOST WORLD SEASON 1 (DVD)
This is an excellent series popular with viewers of all ages, varied backgrounds, and all over the world. Loyal fans have been waiting a long time for these DVDs. If you like strong characterization, attractive characters, great action and adventure, this is a good fit for you. A convention was recently held for the show, and fans were privileged to meet three of the actors and two of the writers--wonderful people. The show is NOT officially cancelled, by the way, as of this date. The term is "delayed," as there are people working to bring it back to television.

A great DVD to add to your Collection: The Lost World,
By Tyler (WI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: LOST WORLD SEASON 1 (DVD)
I have been watching this show for a year now and have seen them all and love it. The dvd is going to be something you'll want to get if you love dinosaurs, babes, and guns. with the whole first series here you'll get lots of everything. The show about explorers stuck in a world of dinosaurs and supernatural forces started in 1999 and has yet to be canceled. it is currently in a wierd hiatus..but could still come back. Get this dvd right away!
