This is what happens when you take the premise of an old television show and redo it the way it deserves to be done. A well-played homage to a cult favorite.

The original series started with a very interesting premise. When ratings began to fail and storylines became unoriginal the producers began to focus on the comic elements of the show. What began on a serious note and was a good show became a farce focusing on the relationships of the young Will Robinson, Dr Smith, and the robot. The comedy trio helped pull ratings back but the show couldn't be taken seriously anymore.

Fast forward to 1998 and we were given yet another cheesy attempt to cash in on the Robinson's. We finally have a show that fulfills the promise that we were given on a new sci-fi drama back in 1965.

The show is beautiful to watch, filmed in Canada. Has a great cast with Emmy and Saturn Award winning alumni. It feels relevant. Especially, in these times - it promises hope.

Storylines are suspenseful while giving room to take in the nuances and enjoy stories play out. I feel the chemistry is great between the characters. Much more so than the original series. We have real people and not just stereotypes.

I hope we have more series. This deserves to be watched.
