.....because none of the characters are likeable, the acting is dire and the script doesn't help the actors one bit! A show needs to have at least one relatable character in it and, especially, one which you'd hate to have killed off by the writers. Lost in Space, unfortunately, just doesn't and, for me, they could get rid of any one of them!

You're also supposed to, at least, hate Dr Smith and the original LIS series, which I'm old enough to have watched, had a Dr Smith whom you loved to hate! The character way back then, though, was funnily despicable but this version is just despicable. She can't even act her way out of it because (a) the script writers haven't thought of it and (b) even if they did I just don't think she has the acting ability to actually be funny.

As for the robot, the buddy buddy relationship between Will and Robbie was a given but that between Dr Smith and Robbie was even more quirky and led to a good few laughs. This robot is just miserable and with Dr Smith in its company, you're hoping that they'll just kill each other and put us out of our misery!

I really, really wanted to like this series but it's got very little going for it if the first few episodes are anything to go by. Netflix can take some existing shows, viz Star Trek, and turn them into a darker version with huge success so I'm still hoping against hope that they can turn around Lost in Space.....
