There are some pretty rough reviews here and I would suggest that some of the viewers started to watch and turned away before the storyline began to move forward. The first few episodes were pretty difficult to digest due to a lack of background into the dynamics of the family and their situation, fortunately the understanding is better developed as the episodes progress. Let me clarify further, this is NOT "The Expanse" or "Star Trek Discovery" so dial it back and assess your expectations because Lost in Space is not sci-fi "Game of Thrones" nor do I think that is what the writers were going for. I am old enough to have actually watched the original series when it was original and it was pretty cheese ball and there is an echo of that in the characters and the direction the series takes. I found myself calling the doctor some very bad names by the last few episodes another hint of the 1960 version. The open nature of the finale left me intrigued, providing viewers can give it a chance.
