Danger, Will Robinson

So i don't know if it's okay to say this , but i kinda got tricked into watching this in the first place , as i thought that actor "John Robinson" is Michael Fassbender !!! lol ,, seriously with that short hair he just looked a twin of Michael .. nevertheless , the guy "Toby Stephens" was really good actor, and he did an amazing job , and that "June Harris" Oh man, I hated her, which only means she was really good at her role , the whole cast did good,, well, of course apart from the kid "Will Robinson" like oh my goodness,, he's over doing it, like just tune it down a notch man !! you're not the lead in here.

Anyway,, the series as i said was good,, it did not rise to the usual Original Netflix level of thrill or even Sci-Fi ,, but still the plot had just a little hint of originality and the writers did a fine job using that ,, in some parts in went slow but again ,, in general it all leveled up.

Final thought, the ending was good, open and somewhat scary .. don't know yet if the series got renewed , but if it did i think they need to work more on the Sci-Fi ,, which in my opinion define the genre of the show,, the other minor parts of the genre, the drama , the action , adventure , it was fine .. and yeah ,, just lose the kid , or someone tell him to tune down the fake unnecessary overly excessive emotions.

Best episode of the series and great cliff hanger. Intense with great fight scene. The Morse code thing was hilarious. Some philosophical dialog in this one by Dr Smith & John Robinson. There is this scene with Don and John and trying to cry was great. I won't spoil any of it Enjoy. Don't listen to the low scores this is great reboot. If you want the original which is very good go watch it. They have created a new exciting and character driven series with an incredible new robot and I hope many more seasons of adventures and species & twists to experience with the Robinson's. Here are some of my observations about characters: Maureen - Strong leader great mom and very smart & resourceful John - Regretful for mistakes as dad and husband; strong courageous Will - Smart caring boy with a robot friend & a big heart Judy - medic with some PTSD but rises to the occasion and loves her family and a little stiff, but lets go when encouraged enough; protector Penny - Glue and fun loving smart 'go for it' and enjoys life and her family; witty and good sense of humor Don - Loves Scotch, emotional orphan, desires money, attitude but very loyal despite himself, engineer J2, dry humor Dr Smith - survivalist at all cost, manipulative to extreme, always scheming Robot - friend and protector of Will Robinson

1st off I liked the movie with Gary oldman he made a great dr Smith,the dr smith (or not dr smith) in this movie was boring and kinda ruined it was praying for her to be killed off and then introduce the real dr smith and have someone more sinister,a lot of the episodes sent me to sleep I was waiting for the action but instead got life lessons courtesy of the space family Robinson if there's a season 2 actually have something like the original where they end up on different planets,instead of loadsa people stranded on a planet,it's called "lost in space" not im a b list actor get me outta here

All ten episodes have been a kind of tightrope walk, threatening any time to fall into the dumb conventions of the original series. And they've managed to mostly avoid being campy or using lazy plotting. The writers have taken care to put a ticking clock and ratchet the tension and keep the twists coming; the characters are complicated enough to have real motivations and be believable. ESPECIALLY DOCTOR SMITH. The the family in the original series would sensibly have thrown that guy off the ship by episode three for their own survival. Here they are at least smart enough to know she's very, very dangerous and to keep her in check.

By the way, special kudos to Parker Posey who manages to make Smith funny and terrifying at the same time. And to her credit, more terrifying than funny.

My only complaint with this compulsively watchable 10 hours of TV is the score is a little intrusive now and then, and they might have been a little too ruthless with those ticking clocks and twists. Now and then maybe those poor humans could catch a break maybe? And also, the technology (and brand names!) seem a little out of place; this is a future with interstellar travel, maybe by then Oreo would have updated their logos or packaging or something?

You could say the whole thing is unnecessary, and instead of rebooting an embarrassing old TV show just come up with a similar new one. I say, let's make things right. Looking forward to the next season.

I liked it... perhaps sometimes to much but overal I liked it...hoping to see a second season....
