Take this from a wide-eyed 6 year-old in 1965 glued to the tube with each episode and who once constructed a recognizable Jupiter 2 out of paper plates: well done. Specifically triggered by Season 2.

Had a lot of distractions during the first season yet still appreicated the modern updates. Completely diifferent story/origin/basic plot elements yet still holding faithful to the core... while making a helluva lot more sense. Check out the original TV series and marvel at the serious tone versus the Day-Glo, illogical vaudeville nonsense of later seasons. A true assault on developing kid senses that I believe caused lasting harm in myself--and millions of other kids--as they tried to comprehend why Smith wasn't spaced from Day One. Criminy! In the pilot he not only disabled a military guard with deft karate-chop but set the Robot to destroy all vital systems including mass murder of the Robinsons. Then he warped into his later clownish form yet continued to... aw, heck... would someone out there please make a YouTube montage video of the many times Smith either tried repeated murder attempts, crashed the ship, damaged vital systems, risked all lives through personal folly and/or nearly got everybody killed so i don't have to?

People have brains here (for most part). Fresh BEIEVABLE character updates that don't seem like a PC kneejerks or, Gods help us, another gender confused, distracting-as-hell erratica that have been force-fed into so many movies of late and do nothing for true charaterization beyond large Afros in the 1970s. Oh, and hey, folks... zero vulgarity. Go figure. Gee, a story told without the constant "realism" of constant F-bombs and the like. Take a lesson new season of Designated Survivor and (don't waste your time) Night Flyers... emphatic lip-twisting Fs do nothing but remind us all how much class we've lost as a whole.

Finally, we've got some hard science fiction sans cultural yakkity-yak and confusing psycho-dramas. Binging on second season with last two to go but so far, it's outstanding.
