I was happily surprised when I watched Lost in Space. I never did watch the older show, but I was very happy with the aesthetics of the show and the beautiful scenery. The show makes the planet they are on feel like it is not on Earth and the introduction of the robot is amazing. The robot is my favorite character on the show. He is amazing, but the show does not use him as well as they should. His arc twists and turns throughout the show, but not in a way that better enhances the show.

Otherwise, I did really like the show. Don West, played by Ignacio Serricchio from Bones, is absolutely vibrant. I did hate his character on Bones funny enough, but I really liked him in this show. He is very funny and he is similar to Han Solo in that he is a lovable con, but the show will go further into that.

The Robinson Family is a very interesting cast of characters. They are all very strong and all speak their own mind. I have truly never seen a show of characters that are all so bold and all stick to their own opinions and moral code with no wavering of judgement.

Lastly, this show definitely does have its faults, but the ending does show some serious potential. Lost in Space is similar to Ozark in a way, because while both stumble, it is easy to see that better seasons will unfold. The writers set up a very interesting and profound Season 2, which makes me very excited!!! I definitely recommend this show, but I remind you, the show is not perfect!
