Perdidos no Espaço

I seriously can't understand these 1 or 2 star reviews. I'm half way through the first season and loving it. It has a great balance of good acting, reasonable story, amazing visuals as well as thrills. I read one review that said he binged the whole season in one day but only gave it 2 stars?? If it's good enough to not stop watching it, it deserve more than that?? The original was 60s fluff. You can only take the premise and bones of the show in the modern age and run with it which is why is a great property to work with. The family work well together and you really want to know more about them. Doctor Smith is fantastic. Beautifully manipulative and one that you hate intensely one minute and then feel sorry for the next. Dark shades of grey make the best baddies. Don is fun and will develop I'm sure as will the story and I can't wait to find out how everything connects. We lose so many great shows before they can hit their strides because of binary reviews and ratings it really frustrates me. There is nothing except a few story driven, science bending, mistakes. So what. If I need a tv show to teach me science I'm in the wrong place. I want to be entertained and I am.

Did you ever see a seemingly good show and then start asking yourself "Wait, why don't they just..." or "What? Why did they do that"? Well if not- search no further! this show will give you the chance to ask these questions dozens and dozens of times!

A good looking production and an interesting subject do start this show on a great path, but when characters start making the silliest mistakes that could *easily* be avoided- over and over and over again, or keep ignoring the most significant issues which can be resolved in seconds- this show starts to really annoy the viewer and his intelligence.

These glaring and repetitive script issues really mar what could had been a great show, but present as they are, they make it hard to suspend the disbelief and enjoy the show rather then being annoyed by it.

Firstly this show looks great. the Special effects are lovely, the set up is interesting, there is so much promise here, yet the show decided to sculpt a handful of unlikable 'modern' youth and adults and focus the show on their problems rather than the amazement of exploring space. The insanity of watching a husband and wife ***** at each other against a backdrop of perfect alien world CGI boggles the mind. Any old run of the mill tv show can and does deliver that same old treading water 'drama', that no one really gets any insight from, and this franchise just added themselves to that pile. The end result is a frustrating ugly (on the inside) visually striking show that you feel compelled to watch cos your eyes are telling you it's of high quality, while your brain tells you you've seen this all before and you don't like any of these people, and your subconscious tells you it's waste of time garbage and you should quit early and save precious hours of your life. This should have been better, I feel sorry for the visual creative team who achieved so much with the look of this show only to have it wasted on the content of it.

The effects and sets on this show are really good, what makes it irritating at times is that the problems never stop, not for more than 3 minutes, forget about survival the Robinsons would be simply out of energy. Also enough with Dr Smith, someone just shoot her.

Growing up watching the original series, I was surprised to see a reboot on Netflix, I find dr. Smith's character convincingly repulsive. She manifests all the characteristics of someone who has an an addictive personality and is asocial. Will is a suprisingly good young actor. I am not disappointed and hope for a second season. It is something that brings me back to my youth; completing my homework so I could watch Lost in Space on a 10" today tv.. Rubricator
