Lost in Space

I like a bit of survival/discovery/escape and this does a pretty good job. It's obviously aimed at a younger audience than me but I can switch my kid's brain on while I watch. The characters suffer from a common problem in the world of TV/film - lack of openness. I can't stand it when characters discover something important and decide, for no good reason, not to tell anyone. Not warning your community that they're all about to die is a sign of a shitty scientist!

I really enjoyed this adaptation of Lost in Space. The production is super, and the 1st season is a compelling prequel to what we're familiar and a good survival story on its own. The cast is great adding some diversity without banging you on the head with it constantly. The only member I was/am tentative about is Posey's Dr. Smith who is, up to this point, lacking some of the wry humour. With the seeds planted for season 2, I'm looking forward to see the direction it takes.

It looks like they spent some money on it. Obviously leading with that it means it's not the best series. It drags often on the same extended plots. Some of the characters are supposed to be likable or sympathetic , and are not. I liked the change up with the robot and the doctor. I did not like the forced strained relationship with the parents, which you are reminded of about every five minutes. There are worse things to watch, but you can probably find better.

Sentimentality and cliches regularly threaten to ruin what is a decent sci-fi production. I still recommend it for three reasons: Parker Posey plays one of the most compelling villains I've ever seen; the stuff with the robot is interesting; and the pseudo-science-y bits are engaging.

I might need to give this another go but the first attempt didn't capture me

Lost in Space

1x; Stopped after S1E1.

Overall, it works. It’s not groundbreaking science fiction, but it delivers exactly what it promises: space adventure, survival challenges and a family struggling to overcome impossible situations. Visually, the series stands out. The special effects are impressive for a TV production and create immersive alien environments. That sense of exploration — strange planets, mysterious technology and constant danger — keeps the story engaging.... - Full Review

Got a bit childish near the end seasons but still good
