Lost in Space, the old Sci-Fi that nobody can do a good remake of. In the effort to become family friendly-ish, the story pacing and character development suffers terribly. I was just staring at the screen sometimes wondering if anything was ever going to happen during some episodes.

The characters are inconsistent but show no real growth most of the time and the few times they do, that growth is reversed by their very next action. Everyone is pretty much a cliche or archetype of some kind and barely ever go beyond the boundaries the writers have set.

The visuals are good and Lost in Space is great if you just want to kill time. If you want great Sci-Fi, go watch the other Netflix series Altered Carbon, just don't let the kids in on that one.
