Don't listen to anyone who talks this series down. Watch it for yourself and you'll see how great it is. Great writing, action, drama, mystery, laughs (not forced kind), adventure, thriller, robots. People talk about plot holes -- use your imagination people. If they filled in all the holes it would be predictable and too slow. its would be like asking why the magic stops at midnight in Cinderella. As soon as you ask such a question you nullify the entire universe in which the author created. Just let yourself get into the story and stop thinking so much. I never understood how people who analyze every word and action have time to enjoy the film -- too busy analyzing it. Not everyone may like this series but whatever you do don't let someone else make your decision for you. Like in Stranger Things series it took me half the first season to get into it and then I loved it. If I'd given up to soon I'd have missed out on a Jem. Lost is Space has made me laugh out loud while several other episodes I have actually found myself in tears. That is good writing and acting. I'm not easily moved, but I really got into the characters and Dr Smith though not my favorite is done so well in this series. Usually I have a fave character but in this one I love them all. Judy, Penny, Will, Don, John and Maureen and of course the robot and Dr. Smith.
