I have to admit, I was very sceptical. I loved the original 1960's series as a child. I looked over various reviews of the new series and really expected that this would be a dud. However, I have now finished watching episode 3 and I have to say, I'm hooked. Some reviewers have accused the series of being very PC (politically correct) in it's diversity. The original series was certainly not WASP. Guy Williams (John Robinson) (born, Armando Joseph Catalano) was an Italian-American actor, Marta Kristen (Judy Robinson) was Norwegian and Johnathan Harris ( Dr. Zachary Smith) was clearly LGBTQ. This series is bears no more resemlance to the 1960's series than it did to to the original "Swiss Family Robinson" story. It is far more a psychological thriller. It is about each character, with a unique psychological makeup (one who is certainly a psychopath), copes with the challenges, traumatic experiences and relationships. When viewed independently from it's predecessors, it makes for compelling and intriguing entertainment. I expect that there will be much to be revealed in future episodes. I have say, I love the robot!
