I really wanted to like this series as I grew up on the original 1960's version and loved that. The characters of this new Netflix series are almost polar opposites of their original counterparts which at first was tolerable and interesting way to redevelope them and bring the franchise into the 21st century, but as the series progressed they became increasingly more and more annoying with their completely idiotic decision choices or implausible fears etc..... After all, these are the best of the best space pioneers right?....wrong!! What's even more annoying is the writers consistently and premeditatedly and forcefully break my number one rule having characters do the most implausible things that absolutely nobody in any frame of mind would do.....seemingly or supposedly smart people doing the dumbest things just to invent some on screen drama. What's more is that every episode is packed full of the most innacurate science and then on top of that every character is a conspiring backstabbing selfish self interested person, even murderous to some extent, except of course the Robinson family who repeatedly get blindsided out of stupidity by all the liars and backstabbers, yet never learn from it. The writers of this series must really have no imagination since they have to continually force events and actions by costars and periphery characters and nature that anyone with half a brain would not step into or allow. The final blow is the depths at which they sunk Dr. Smith down into. Their character is just so over the top annoying that nobody in their right mind would have allowed them to continually plot against the welfare of the rest of the pioneers.....just ridiculous. Over and over and over nobody seems to learn from past experiences and they are supposed to be the best of the best of earthlings chosen to go on this space mission to a new world.....but the writers make them so flawed that it's hard to believe they even got off the ground. If it weren't for the very high production value I would rate this a 5 for barely watchable....fortunately the special effects is the only saving grace and bumps the score to a 7, just fair. I really wanted to like it but just to many idiotic plot holes and bad science the writers could have fixed if they researched better or just flat out had more intelligence.
