Let me first say that I just could not get over Parker Posey's sad channeling of a grown up Ally Sheedy's Allison from The Breakfast Club. Posey's Dr. Smith is so similar to Sheedy's performance that it is distracting. Same facial expressions, body postures..etc. I realize that Posey and Sheedy do look alike, but that has nothing to with my point. That said, let me get on with the rest of my review. The writing is lacking in so many ways - characters making ridiculously bad choices in spite of their obvious high IQ's and education. Each episode so cringingly predictable, I had to stop myself from fast forwarding through half the show. I think the principal actors did their best with the given material - even the robot was able to convey some emotion. The production value did not look inexpensive so it is a shame the writing doomed any hope of this reboot's success.
