I watched the first 30 minutes about 2 weeks ago, wasn't really hooked, and got distracted by a shiny object. Last Thursday I came back to it when I wasn't in tired, and watched the first episode beginning to end. The pilot episode was a slow burn but the last 10 minutes sufficiently hooked me to follow it up with the next episode. It has kept getting better. Pacing, and special effects are well tuned, and the acting is above average. I saw the original series repeatedly, and there are just enough references, and ties to the original to make it cozy and familiar, yet enough plot and character twists to make it surprising. The science may be plastered on a bit loosely, but if you watched the original the science wasn't present. It was a weekly family serial. Art direction is outstanding so far. As I pointed out at the start, the first episode is a slow burn, and didn't really grab me until the last 10 minutes, but it did grab me. Episode 2 just pulled me in deeper. This is, as the original series, a family friendly serial sci fi. I loved the first season, but I loved Firefly and that was cancelled prematurely. To be clear Firelfy and L.I.S. reboot are really two different animals, but IMHO both equally endearing and absorbing. Just one update addition to my original review: The science in the original Lost In Space was iffy at best, even at the age of 10, an episode where Dr. Smith is turned to gold was just too goofy, but that's not why I liked it. It was just fun. So is this.
