This was simply terrible science fiction.

The acting was subpar, the writing was trite and inane and the special effects were only "special" if you didn't look too closely. The only watchable parts were those that didn't have live actors in them and even those were so few and far in between that they don't allow the viewer to enjoy the series.

Despite all of the reviews on here which complain about (read:whine) about the "PC" concerns on the program, that's the least important part of the of series. Even if this Lost in Space had the same dynamics as the 1960s series or the 1998 film, the problems with the narrative would make it nearly unwatchable. The facts that woman are in charge or that one character is biracial are irrelevant as the program is so dull and so poorly done that those things simply do not matter.

This should have been sold as a completely new series using entirely different characters, rather than the re-imaginationing that it is presented as being. As it is, if you are a fan of the Lost in Space franchise of old...or even the 1998 film...you should avoid this one like the plague.
