I'm really surprised by all the flaming this Netflix reboot is getting. People seem to forget the numerous shortcomings of the original series (think chimps in horrible makeup, giant talking carrots, and plodding stories which eventually devolved to the sublimely ridiculous), and why it never held a candle to the equally short-lived but forward-looking Star Trek.

The Netflix reboot is a fantastic re-imagining of the original Lost in Space series, without being overtly nostalgic or chained to the original source material. While not perfect, there's absolutely nothing that takes away from the overall story or emotional arch of the characters. Casting/Performance, this gets an A+ all the way around. On that tip, as much as I find it hard to believe, Penny is a scene stealer and is actually one of my favorite characters. Visually, a solid A. Directing and screenplay, another solid A. In terms of the writing, a B with some room for improvement. Like the original series, the pacing can use a little tweaking. Episodes can occasionally feel too long, particularly the pilot. But all in all, I would love it this could make it to a multiple season run.
