From the very first episode Lost in Space has been quite intriguing. However Maxwell Jenkins's performance as what one may call the lead, has been wrought with struggle to appear convincing and instead comes off as forced, self-conscious and rather cheesy. In an industry that has an increasing number of incredible child-actors, this seems to be an oversight the show really should not have indulged. This, coupled with the show's writing concentrating way too much on inconsequential events and story arcs perhaps as a feeble attempt to create tension, is quickly turning a show fans eagerly awaited and may well have been hailed a sci-fi classic, into one we're increasingly eager to forget.
