Lost in Space has a fair bit of psychology and family dynamics, and women in the show are all conspicuously dominant. In fact, it's pretty interesting sociologically / psychologically -- for me -- because I believe it paints a pretty good picture ( occasionally cringe-worthy ) of male-female relations in America, at this point, and where we are likely headed -- stereotypically. Basically, the patriarchy has long been left behind, and women are now definitely in charge: they know how to fix everything and make the system work for them, and for the most part, don't need men -- except for beating other men ( and monsters ), and occasionally as love interests. Hail to the matriarchy: replacing one wrong with another!

Anyhow, I love epic sci-fi as much as the next guy, and they did a pretty good job there, visually and action-wise; though I suspect, considering that Sci-Fi tends to primarily attract a male audience -- still --, they may be shooting themselves in the foot by depicting men in such a superficial and helpless fashion ( writing themselves into oblivion ). And no, I am not asking for so-called "toxic masculinity", but a more balanced approach, i.e. emotionally mature men endowed with emotional range, agency, creativity, and good boundaries -- and not just in the brawns dpt. Characters a majority of the audience could root for -- would that be too much to ask?

Plot-wise, as noted by other reviewers, it's either rather thin or heavy-handed at times, as many of the plot-points and devices seem to be either missing or excessively contrived and/or predictable ( ex: the satellite dish falling over and trapping the husband and wife -- just in time for some needed reconciliation! ). Overall, I believe the series is seriously lacking in the writers dpt., and it shows. Also, since they are intent on feeding us stereotypes, I think it might help if they actually knew their mythological patterns and psychological archetypes ( considering good space opera is a prime vehicle for myth ) -- I don't think they do, or even look at it in this way. What we get instead in a heaping, normalizing dose of political correctness and feminist ideology: politics ( in the cultural sense ). One other reviewer even reported that the series' official Facebook page is expressly calling for viewers to upvote the show on IMDB, calling it a "political fight" -- that should tell you everything you need to know.

Visually, it's often stunning though, as noted, but my guess is even that may wear thin going into the future -- assuming the show has one.

To the screenwriters:

Here is how it might be possible to draw the story arc of the series to a close in only 2 or 3 episodes, in keeping with the show's political DNA so far ( considering you might have to ):

a ) Kill off all the men due to impotence, idiocy, incompetence, greed, or machist bravado.

b) Replace them all with robots ( except for the boy, who may at last live an empowered life, freed from the shadow of his father -- after his coming out! ).

c) Have the women return home claiming they have found the solution to save humanity and the planet -- err, the mother goddess, "Gaia" --, and that the exodus from Earth wasn't warranted after all.
