With great special effects and beautifully shot, just about any trailer you saw for Lost In Space made it look like something worth watching, and it is, if you have exhausted your Netflix queue.

The biggest issue with Lost In Space is every episode is a combination of the worst things that can go wrong, all going wrong at the same time and the Robinson family finding themselves facing death & peril once again, only to have everything work out just in time. Literally if this was a cop drama someone would be cutting a wire on a ticking bomb with just 1 second left to end every episode. The villains, no matter how inept, seem to have everything work out for them time after time to increase their chances of making it to the next episode.

The reboot included a nice touch of rearranging the lead character's roles and even breaking up the family dynamic. So you get a mom that's the family lead, a dad who's kind of along for the ride and a robot who is there, but isn't really part of the crew. And then there is Dr. Smith, inept yes, but truly evil this time around.

If you are looking for the next series to binge, this isn't it. I found myself needing a break after each episode as opposed to waiting to watch the next episode. As a matter of fact 6 episodes in I'm only going to finish watching them because I've invested this much time in them, and ironically I came down with the flu so I have some time to kill on the couch.
