If you're expecting anything that resembles the first (original) series of this show, forget about it. Even the subsequent series (the color ones) don't come close. As a stand alone sci-fi, it's what you'd expect from Netflix...classy sets, OK acting, good production values, but writing and plots...nyeh. I can't get the old series out of my mind. This one is great for family viewing, but I can't make it through more than a couple at a time. The later episodes are better than the pilot. Not unwatchable but still....
