Giant vegetable people? space bikers?

The original show was aimed at kids, and we ate it up. Irwin Allen pointed his shows squarely at kids (I also loved The Time Tunnel and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and every single one of his disaster and made-for-tv movies). He was a born showman, but nobody ever accused him of making too high-toned entertainment (The Swarm, anybody?). This iteration of the show is a bit more serious, and arguably better by far than the original. Sure, it's missing the loveable, always kind mother, who pulls the already washed, folded and wrapped laundry out of the "laundry machine", but they're giving it a shot. Given that it's coming out at a time when Westworld is the current gold standard, our expectations are higher, but I'll watch it. One thing that always bugged me about the series premise - a family colonizing another world - how were they supposed to increase the group and become a colony? It is funny to see Toby Stephens go from a badass gay pirate to a hero dad. If we're lucky, someone will decide to remake Land of the Giants soon.
