The best thing about sci-fi is that anything is possible, and you come to expect the unexpected. This however is not true for Lost in Space. The show is more of a cookie cutout of a bunch of tired clishés. Every single event is predictable and there is aboslutly nothing new or refreshing on this take. Most of the episodes are 80% filler and only 20% moves this show forward. Most characters lack depth and the ones that don't instead seem ambivalent at best because the writers don't know what to do with them. The dialogues are poor and at best boring, at worst annoying. I find myself just tired of the characters and their forced selfcreated drama. That said I'm plesantly surprised about the character of Will, played by Maxwell Jenkins, and the fact that "the annoying kid" trope is the least annoying of the Robinson family members. Besides him, he only ones I care about is the robot and the chicken.

The show is relying heavily on production value, it does have beautiful photography and wonderful nature shots. Great set design and costumes and amazing CGI but it doesn't cover up the fact that the show lacks substance.

I can't tell if it's the script that is badly written or editing gone wrong, but there are so many instanses where the show just seem lost in space.
