Been putting off watching this as I assumed the chances were going to be very high it would too kiddy oriented, and first impressions are it's very kiddy oriented, which is a pity as the premise is good.

Had they just focused on the sci-fi and let the storyline develop it would be fine but overdoing the drama bit is the normal curse of mediocre sci-fi.

Going to try to watch a few more episodes but it's going to have to improve quite a lot very quickly!

Ok now at Season 1, episode 6 and it's as I suspected, the science has basically run out and we're back to boring old human drama set amongst a group of 40 odd people that are more interested in scoring points off each other than trying to survive, developing love story stuff, family stuff, and could be set in New York, or anywhere but just happens to be on another planet.

Then there are the characters, far too many of them are just plain idiots, uber irritating, dumb morons, arrogant, all the Robinson kids have issues and the kids relationship with the robot is a bit weird to say the least.

Aaarrggghhh, the pain... Episode 8 and I just can't take much more, this is now officially crap, there is nothing in this story that even resembles sci-fi, it's totally reduced to drama. The science is really weak, the plot basically boring, the repeated crisis points that any sensible person would avoid, etc.

When will writers ever learn stick to the blinking topic, nobody is really interested in human drama masquerading as sci-fi, but if it helps mediocre writers get away with peddling rubbish then I suspect it'll continue.

Dropped rating to 1 stars because of this!
