And I think the actors were game. At least capable, but the writers gave them very stupid things to do. In one episode, two of the kids do things that were unbelievably stupid, that endangered everyone. In the previous episode, the other kid does something incredibly stupid, as well. In the original LIS, Will might do something not very smart, usually goaded by Dr. Smith, but he never put everyone in grave danger because of it, nor did you ever think Will was stupid. These kids do things, not because they're goaded, but because they're stupid. So you must wonder, how did these kids, who seem to lack simple common sense, get chosen as a part of a family to go into space? And to top it off, the Dr Smith character in the original was kind of a likable unlikable character, whereas this one, played by Parker Posey, just seems to be evil. Not fun.
