I like good sci-fi. From Star Trek Discovery to Altered Carbon, we seem to be in a good time for it.

I never watched the original Lost in Space. I have a vague memory of the horrendous Matt le Blanc remake and the catchy Apollo 440 soundtrack. So I had low expectations.

And we had a blast. Whilst it was one of those plots that threw challenge after challenge at the cast, I felt the tension right to the end - the last two episodes in particular were almost stressful.

And I liked all the characters. All the family, I thought, were awesome. The Robot was a great piece of the plot, continually re-evaluated. Dr Smith was a fascinatingly different villain, very manipulative but simply because is always looking out to protect herself, first. And the visuals were stunning.

If anything, it's closer to the family oriented, swear word free, violence light Star Trek over the ultra grim Altered Carbon. Light sci-fi, sure. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have a place. Watch with an open mind and you'll enjoy the ride.
