I actually really enjoyed this. It's actually incredibly sad that we have people on here judging this against the original rather than treating it as something new. Really and truly, it IS something new since they've brought the Robinson's into the 21st century, so that they relate with today's audience. It's a nice little sci-fi adventure, and unlike many of the other Netflix titles, it's suitable enough to watch with the kids. Not every show needs to include violence and trashy sex that is so unsexy it's funny. (Yes, some Netflix sex scenes made me laugh) Perhaps this show has it's problems here and there, but it was enjoyable enough for me to want more. That's a plus.

There is a lot of character building/filling in blanks done through flashbacks to what was happening on Earth prior to embarking on their journey to the colony on Alpha Centuri. There were some dragged out scenes like the "trapped in ice" scenerio. I think they handled that well by not focusing on that completely. It would have been rather boring otherwise. There was a nice balance, I think.

Some people gave this one and two stars purely because they believe that it's "PC rubbish" compared to the original. What's so PC about it? Is it because the eldest daughter is clearly not Robinson's biological child? (She's part African-American). That's genuinely really sad because America is a multi-cultural society and this wouldn't be that unusual. I've come across shows that were ruined by the fact that they were so obviously trying to include a person from every possible background. That doesn't work and just feels like it's insulting the intelligence of the viewers. Cinema has moved on from the days of macho men and screaming helpless princesses, it's time to get over it and judge a show fairly on how the actors/writers and so on performed.
