Have to disagree with most of the negative reviews here- the show "is what it is"- a thrill a minute fun ride. That being said, the family gets into trouble way more often than should actually be, and in the beginning- they didn't get along. But that's part of the growth process of the show: a family thrown back together that learns to love again- to trust again. It's written that way on purpose. Even Robot is evolving as he starts to understand humans. Aren't we all...? Parker Posey, who is a great actor, makes Dr Smith a complete snake- Which is the point! You're supposed to hate her character, not trust her. But she's evolving a bit- realizing she cannot be alone, she needs the Robinsons. Visually, the show is stunning! Lots of effects for the ardent SCI-Fi fan to see, enough jargon to argue about and plenty of Rube Goldberg type fixes your make you wonder "how the heck...?" Writing could be more fluid, more depth and exploration of character development. Ask the "why" questions more. The memory sequence of Penny and John, her father, was done really well- more of that please. My whole family loves the show- hopefully a third season (maybe more???) is in the works!
