I don't know what some of these nay-sayers who panned this series were watching, but it wasn't this one. When compared to the original 1965 series, this reboot is light-years better, but then it doesn't take much to be better than the show that had that obnoxious and campy, Jonathan Harris, in the role of Dr. Zachary Smith. I used to hope that one of the Robinsons or Major West would bump him off! The 1998 film was diabolical, too, even with top-drawer actors like Gary Oldman and William Hurt starring. It only shows that if you have terrible scripts and bad direction, you're only going to get rubbish. I've only watched one episode and I liked it. It has promise, if the subsequent episodes are anything like the first one. There are some negatives, like the fact that in typical American fashion, the youngsters are precocious know-it-alls, but that's par for the course these days. It certainly doesn't deserve the 1 or 2/10 ratings that some "reviewers" on here have given it.
