I'll admit what got me interested in this show was how cool it looked and the story seemed intriguing. I think these two elements made the first season pretty awesome. However after watching season 2 I am a little disappointed in the writing. This story becomes too problem drive. Every episode some major catastrophe needs to be solved, whether it be the fuel supply or the water decontamination system or whatever, something always needs to be fixed or solved. I think this works very well for certain episodes, but to have basically every episode be like this (as well as most episodes in season 1), takes away from character development and a deeper narrative.

With that being said I like the bonds the characters share on this show. The parent-child relationships work very well and I love how the Robinsons can transition from being a crew on a space ship to a family so quickly. I liked the Flashbacks in season 1. I think they gave much needed context for the setup of this show. It would have been nice to see some more of those in season 2. The scenes with the Robot and Will are heartwarming, and the CGI on the aliens is outstanding.

I really like this show, but I can't give it a 10 because of the show being way too problem based and not having enough character driven stories.
