This series has no business being called Lost in Space. It has no resemblance whatsoever to the Irwin Allen production; even the most collapsed outline view of the storyline doesn't match up with the plot in Allen's original series. This is a blatant attempt to capitalize on the name to lure potential viewers, and in return Allen's estate gets a cut of the ill-gotten proceeds.

It's also a poor excuse for a science fiction series. It should more literally be titled "Dallas in Space" or "Secrets in Space". The entire storyline is predicated upon multiple characters keeping secrets and being dishonest with each other. The writers have created a "player versus player" story, where once again humans are their own and only enemy. It could have have been an interesting story about "player versus environment", had writers and producers and executives with any intelligence and depth been responsible... but none were.

Instead we get this depressing and mediocre story about humans in some distant place keeping secrets from and lying to each other, and generally threatening each other. Even the vague good guys in this situation lie and keep secrets, convincing themselves it's "for their own good". The only honest creature in the story isn't even human.

Humans are indeed their own worst enemies. We don't need to be reminded of it, we need an escape from it. This series is no escape. It wallows in the mud of humanity and drags us down along with it.
