The production value of the Netflix Original Series "Lost in Space" is very good. The casting is excellent, but the story is flawed. The series has unnecessary interpersonal issues between the Robinsons that distract from the adventure. And the story feels like a few spitball ideas stitched together rather than a single imaginative creation. Netflix's "Lost in Space" is another example of attractive casting going to waste on flawed writing. I blame this on the difference between the way actors and writers come into prominence. Actors win praise as they showcase their talents and rise accordingly. Writers are selected out of a caste for the weight of their credentials and their subsequent successes. These calculating writers tend to overthink a story. The fiction TV and movie industries are stuffed with these literary tacticians who have no imagination. I blame this on the BUSINESS in SHOW BUSINESS. Fiction storytelling in the TV and movie industries is akin to fast food in the culinary industry-make it fast and cheap. Acting is evolving. Writing is devolving. You can't teach talent. Story is King. Horatio Jaxx
