I am a total fan of the original 1960's series.....by 120% compared with the movie.....20%. I am not sure where the negative reviews came from or what program they watched. I do honestly understand that everyone has their own opinion.....as the late Patrick Swayze stated in "Road House"...."opinions vary". I have been very disappointed with most other TV remakes that have come out but this "Lost in Space" was incredible.

I was encouraged by the trailer that was released until I saw what they called "the robot". Then I said at that point all bets are off. Boy was I wrong!!!!!! This is a completely, refreshing new look at the 1960's series. While watching the first episode, I began looking at the characters, the plot, the beautiful setting and the incredible visual effects. Netflix did not get any big named actors but very very believable actors who brought so much depth to the characters. What people should understand is that this story is about "a family". As the reviewer "good friar" brilliantly stated.."Plenty of action and adventure mixed with an inspiring story of a broken family repairing itself amidst an atmosphere of choas". The family goes through many trials and challenges. The flashbacks help us to understand more about characters as well as the family.

As far as the accuracy of the science aspect, everyone is probably going to be critical or pick out things that might be inaccurate or thought it was ridiculous. But anyone can find those aspects on Star Trek, Stargate, Star Wars etc. They are just Science Fiction stories.

There is no way one can compare the 1960's robot with the current robot. I loved the original robot .But this robot blew me away. The relationship/bonding it has with Will is perfect and growing....in other words it "adapts". I was not happy with how they are portraiting Don West but he also seems to be adapting. Dr. Smith's gender change was unexpected and initially questionable. However I do believe Jonathan Harris would approve of the new character regardless. She is a great manipulator. She is a person you love to hate.

Anyway I am booked to the next season....cannot wait
