Netflix yet again delivers an exciting new show which while I felt took a few episodes to truely get invested in is well worth your time if you are looking to binge on a fun scifi show which has been sorely lacking in today's roster of must see tv. I will admit going into this that while I was aware this was a reboot based on an old tvshow and film I have never watched the prior material though I feel for anyone in the same position as me that will not hinder the enjoyment of the show.

Starting off the show looks gorgeous, when I first saw the trailer I mistook it for a film. This show is another great example of how the gap between film visuals and visuals on the tv are almost indistinguishable. There are some beautiful locations shown here and a variety to, from great ice glaciours to black Rocky Mountains to alien forests and wide open planes all the areas are often given beautiful wide shots and used to their fullest and changed up enough so they don't get boring. Visual effects are outstanding and it was a treat to watch some amazing flying space ship sequences.

Characters I found a little rocky, especially starting off. I enjoyed the children's characters however early on found some of the parents and adults rather bland and annoying though they all grow in interesting ways and I found myself invested in each of their stories after getting through a few episodes. The villain is a character I don't feel will garner many peoples admiration, she is a fairly unlikeable character though has enough depth to be interesting.

Story was for the most part excellent, it does have some dips here and there with some roll of the eyes moment solutions but for a show which Ai feel isn't trying to be super grimy realistic the fun of the story is a real nice change to some of the grittier shows I've been watching of late. There are some genuinely good plot twists and interesting developments especially later in the series.

Overall this was an excellent show which felt imaginative, brilliantly executed and brings back some sorely needed scifi fun. I'd strongly recommend this show for a good binge watching and let me tell you this show looks amazing on the big screen. I'm excited to see what Netflix brings for the next season and I'm now totally hooked on the story of the Robinsons.
