Lost in Space

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

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.

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.

Enough is enough! Mood making. Constant Star Wars music, interferes w the talking and distracts.it should be rereleased with 25% of the music, which often makes it hard to hear what's being said.

I don't know why there is so much hate being piled onto this show. It's not brilliant, but it's not bad either. I'm three episodes in and I'm enjoying it.

Sure, the scifi elements and in particular the coherency isn't there, but most scifi shows fail there. And yes, it's neither the most profound story nor the deepest of characters.

But it's fun and paces nicely (certainly better than the knuckle-dragging Altered Carbon). The characters are pretty cool, while the effects and design are really nicely done. Lost in Space won't change your life or become the next great television event. But ignore the reviewers - take a look for yourself.
