"DANGER WILL FIND THEM" The Netflix Original remake, Lost In Space, has a decent first season with a lot of potential left over. It was an enjoyable watch, but not exactly cinematic perfection. Some of the most intriguing moments are traded off for clunky camera angles, cheesy fights, or unconvincing dialogue.

The plot for this show is very compelling! We follow the Robinson family mainly after they've crashed on an unknown planet. They encounter many difficulties of many different sizes along the way. I think it's a well designed story. Unfortunately, I don't think it was orchestrated to its fullest potential. A few episodes hold your attention with intense content, whereas others feel more like "The Daily Adventures of the Robinsons." Some if the later episodes lacked new information and acted as a filler. The finale was done well, and gave us plenty of content to hold on to. The suspense was there. However, some of information could have been spaced differently to allow more revelations throughout the show. It seems that things are revealed in chunks, which leaves a lot of empty space in between these admissions. A good balance of plot driving (being mostly affected by an overall plot) and character driving (being mostly affected by the characters and their decisions) can be a good thing, but it gives the episodes a disconnected feel in this case.

Much like the plot, I think most of the characters are well written, but not executed in the best way. They start off not so likable. I didn't feel engaged with them and wasn't as concerned for them as I could have been. When a character is put in danger, it's important that I have somewhat of an opinion on them to determine how I feel about the situation. To me, the most confusing character was Dr. Smith, portrayed by Parker Posey. I couldn't understand why she did the things that she did, as she superficially didn't have much motive. The character was very strange and not very solid. The Robinsons start off being very vanilla and no one stands out. As the show progressed, they grew on me. Judy Robinson was the first to stand out to me, and I think that is due to Taylor Russell's great performance! The rest of the acting was adequate enough.

Lost in Space had a promising first season. There were a few bumps in the road, but the view was nice. The final destination was truly jaw dropping. As whole it was enjoyable to watch and I'll be keeping my eyes open for a second season.
