I don't write many reviews but just had to put in my 2 cents. Having been a fan of the original series (first run) and the movie, this version was a little off center to be a remake. Better to have just made the characters all new so I could not compare them. Overall the series was good and the FX was great. The robot was the best but Dr. Smith was the worst actor I've seen on the screens. The original Smith was pretty much harmless just screwed up a lot. I can even live with the black Judy character but think would have been nice to know how that came to be (small mention I caught). Oh, that's called character buildup and background I think. Tobi Stephens should have been the lead character and Molly Parker just supporting role. The rest of the acting was just ok with the exception of Parker Posey, who should have been replaced by (man/woman) a better actor and not focus on that character. The original Dr. Smith was the comedy relief of the original series because of the stupid things he did. I liked this series but feel it should have been a better remake. Nothing memorable other than the robot and the worst Dr. Smith ever.
