Perdus dans l'espace

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.

An entirely adequate show that's come and gone without much remark or passion from either side of the camera, or the screen.

There's little to object to here, but nothing to enthuse about either. It's an absolutely straight (mostly) family friendly production of space adventure and survival.

Most episodes follow exactly the same pattern: a survival challenge which is overcome through spunky Spacemerican ingenuity, or (verging on literal) Deus ex machina, as the theme tune swells triumphantly. And everybody learns a lesson about the importance of family, again.

The characters are consistently written and all the cast do a decent enough job. Sets, cinematography, CGI, score, it's all competent.

None of it is brilliant though. There are essentially no memorable lines, nobody's character really develops, and as the seasons progress, it becomes clear that they've run out of ideas beyond "Bad robots".

The final season in particular feels both stretched and truncated, as they struggle to fill 8 episodes with a meagre plot, then end it all abruptly with an unsatisfying cop-out conclusion.

I made it all the way through, but was left wondering why I'd bothered.

Dark; depressing; non-stop crises; dysfunctional family; constant conflict; more like a soap-opera; many annoying characters; overbearing lead actor; no light at the end of the tunnel; no fun at all. If you like to watch movies as an escape, then you don't want to escape here. (Unless you really like being depressed as an escape.)

If you were hoping for something that even vaguely resembled the original, forget it. There is almost nothing in common, except for the spaceship and the names of some of the characters. The original had a good balance of light and dark, funny and serious, etc. This is just endless hopelessness without any relief.

So let's forget trying to compare this to the original, because there is no comparison. For sake of argument, let's say this was something new, not based on anything else. It totally fails to inspire me or make me want to watch the next episode.

I gave it 3 instead of a 1 because some of the actors try their best with the poor material they were given to work with.

How this got such a high overall rating I cannot fathom, unless I am really out of touch with the current generation of movie-goers.

I don't recommend it.

Enjoyable, brilliant graphics and fun story. Just could not stand the pain in the ass character Dr. smith! But I guess that's what was intended with her

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.
