If you wish it was just like the old one, go watch the old one. The acting isnt spectacular but its pretty good for a sci-fi tv show. The daughter is mixed because she was a product of the relationship her mom had with another man before she met her current husband. (Its weird that everyone was focused on that part.) If you want to watch something that is scientifically accurate, watch something else. I like it. The robot is adorable. I think if everyone watched all 8 episodes first, then wrote a review, there wouldnt be so many negative reviews on here.
