The producers of this show did most of the things right. It is a well known franchise with good bones to build a new series on. They spared no expense on effects, with some really great CGI and high quality picture and sound. The cast is very good with a couple of really fantastic leads. Even the child actors are good. The problem is, when it came to writing, it is as if they just didn't care. No one is believable, the story is stupid, the plot holes are ridiculous and nobody would behave the way the characters in this show do. Most of all it is so contrived and relies on coincidence and CONVENIENCE all the time. Everything happens to work out. It's also incredibly predictable. It is too bad because this show had all the other makings of a great science fiction series here.
