Eulogy

Lost In Space -"Eulogy" S1 E6

8 -stars. All of my reviews begin with an 8 -star rating.

From 17:12 -That talk between Maureen and "Doctor Smith" was especially creepy this episode, right?

The robot offers Will a multi -coloured crystal. All my dogs ever offer me are bright eyes and wagging tails. Oh. And stools.

Being able to connect emotionally with character(s)? Yes/No

9 -stars.

While I get where they are trying to go, the nature of the way the writers went about it (without spoiling) seems clumsy and very ham-fisted.

I don't think I can make it through this series. I've been trying to make it easier by watching in the background while doing something else but it's stupidity and sheer annoyingness pushes through. The Van Halen joy ride. OMG, how could any writer put that in to a show set in the future. It broke any semblance of credibility in such a dumb American jock way. The waterfall date, I threw up a little in the back of my throat over this. just plain terrible. The Doctor Smith carry on. Really, do you think this is entertaining and fun to watch? Every character is a reflection of the worst aspects of modern day A-holes so instead of being an entertaining and thought provoking show on the wonders of space travel we get a show that dwells in the ugliness of modern 1st world American families and individuals, and it's a really ugly watch. yeah, nah, I'm out.

I was quite surprised when I saw Lost in Space pop up on Netflix, so I instantly sat down to watch and episode or two. And Netflix being Netflix, I ended up binge watching more then just a couple episodes.

I've not completed the first season yet, but every episode I've seen so far are absolutely amazing. I've loved every moment of the show so far!

When it comes to the actors, they are all doing a great job! But one that really sticks out of the crowd is Maxwell Jenkins (Will Robinson). His acting is superb, and he is doing an amazing job! I had never heard of this actor before, but I am quite sure we're gonna see more of this amazing talent in the future! He really nails all the emotional scenes, to which I myself felt a lump in my throat and a bit tearing up in some of the more emotional scenes of the episode.

Great job, Netflix! You've done it again!

9/10

I'm a little more than halfway through with season 1 and I can't understand Dr Smiths actions, motivations or actually anything about her. She's a totally unlikable character which unless Parker Posey is the same makes her a great actress. I see Dr Smiths actions and I truly can't fathom them at all.

The rest of the cast plays their characters perfectly as well. Molly Parker is one of the greatest actresses ever. She has been great in everything since I first saw her in Deadwood. Mina Sundwall captures the original series Penny perfectly and adds a whole new dimension to Penny. I'm excited to see the rest.
