Lost in Space This was a strange Season 1 in the fact that I think it alienated viewers before they gave it a chance to really absorb everything that came about. Without giving any spoilers I will say those that did stick it out for all 10 episodes were rewarded by a storyline that came together and pieced together many of the mysteries that comprised Lost In Space. Some people didn't like how dark Dr Smith was but many fail to realize that in the original series Dr Smith sole purpose was to destroy the Jupiter spaceship. They didn't really dive into the implications but that basically meant killing off the Robinson family who would have been collateral damage along with the mission. The current Dr Smith is every bit as evil but in a more menacing psychological way. Also many were turned off by the robot, in the new series we saw two sides, the killer robot, and the robot that was loyal to Will. As with the whole storyline there are twists and turns that play themselves out in the series finale. The biggest difference between the original series and the 2018 version is that the 1965 ship was knocked off course by a meteor shower where as the series already starts with the Jupiter ship in flight. I think what plagued the beginning of the series was the storyline. At time it was choppy and rather dull if not uninspiring. I myself nearly gave up on the series by episode 5 but those that did stick it out were rewarded with 3 very riveting episodes that explained many of the mysteries including the finale that lends to its title "Lost in Space". I can't really say more without giving out spoilers so here's to hoping that Season 2 starts up where Season 1 left off, with a bang!
