Having reviewed the comments... I'm left wondering if many of the other reviewers were looking for some deep hidden meaning or trying to make ill drawn comparisons to other material. For me, this show is entertaining and keeps me guessing as to what will happen next. The visuals are well done and not overdone, the acting is not corny and do I find this a great watch... absolutely! I do find the family's acceptance of Dr. Smith initially to be a too relaxed, especially as they begin to question her. The brash response by some of the other Jupiter crews seems a bit extreme but do humans act irrationally when in situations such as these... absolutely. Is Maureen a bit of a hardass as a mom, yes, but I have seen women like that and even worked with them, and there are certainly people like Dr. Smith.

If you take this show for what it is, an entertaining space romp, you will be pleased. If you are looking for this show to be like the original... more comedic and silly, you will be disappointed. Having been a big Battlestar Galactica fan, I can say this material does not have the depth that that material did, but is this show every bit as fun for me to watch.

I like watching Toby do his thing after having enjoyed him in Black Sails. It would be funny if the writers threw in a Black Sails reference in there somewhere for me to enjoy.. maybe a picture of a pirate ship in his room or something which is a picture of the ship from that show would be hilarious with a line like "I always liked thinking about what it would be like to be a pirate in those days.. had to respect that kinda harsh life... oddly, not to different than the life we live now!"
