I'm a huge Sci-Fi fan and love Trek, Battlestar and Firefly. I was thrilled to see this show come out on Netflix and watched all 10 episodes within a week.

I'm amazed at the negative reviews. Yes, there are plot issues and flaws. I found myself asking some of the same questions other reviewers were asking (like, why the hell are they letting Smith stick around?). But this has been traditionally true for all great Sci-Fi. You have to remember, the writers want the story to be compelling. I'm able to overlook some plot issues and just enjoy the show. And, c'mon...this is season one! Give it some time to grow and develop! Really, compare season one of Star Trek Next Generation with, say, season 4. HUGE difference!

But, all in all, I thoroughly enjoyed every episode. I want to emphasize, in my opinion, the show was cast PERFECTLY. Especially Will and Penny. The actors are great and I don't dislike one character (well, Dr. Smith but we're SUPPOSED to hate her!). Really, I love Maureen Robinson for her intelligence and toughness. Played perfectly. John Robinson is awesome and I think will get even more interesting in the next season or two. Judy is great and fits the role perfectly. Don West, I'm warming up to. By the end of the season I really liked him. And the chicken...well, played brilliantly by Chicken.

My only "meh" comment would go to the robot. I think the producers missed an opportunity to give him more character and "likability". The original robot, to this day is recognizable and unique. With the new robot, it's hard to get warm and fuzzy for a character who murdered a bunch of people. Also, it's a little surprising the characters (Maureen and John mainly) are basically like "oh, alien robot. Whatever." I would think they'd be all over trying to figure it out. Where it's from. Who or what built it. Is it soldier or servant to another race of some kind? Lot's of questions I think they'd want to try to answer right away.

Overall, I love the show and a big part of it is the incredibly likable cast. Looking forward to season two.
