I'm not really a sci-fi fan. I've never seen the original series or any other reboots, if there has been any. I started watching because I figured it wouldn't be any trouble to turn it off mid-ep and walk away, but I found myself enjoying it. It's got a tonne of faults. Even for sci-fi, the characters make some baffling decisions and come up with some magical solutions to the problems that rush at them at a mile a minute. Alien invasion! Big crashes! Insane weather events! Hostile landscape! Dinosaurs! (Dinosaurs?) Lost! Found! Cats and dogs, living together! You get the picture. Throw into the mix a dysfunctional family, burgeoning young love, a wicked villain, and the perennial trope of a robot with the capacity to hurt and help being both loved and loathed in the role of an outsider, and for my money you've got some fine family drama. And it is intended for the family so, yes, it's down the Disney end of the scale. So if you're expecting some sort of outer-space Game of Thrones you'll be disappointed. The CGI and production are outstanding for tv and the script is a bit hokey in spots, but I've got no complaints about the performances. Parker Posey in particular is at her sneering best as the clutch-out psycho 'Dr Smith'. For sure, it reads as an unhinged ugly step-sister but I'm pretty sure that's what she was aiming for because this isn't furrowed brow tv, it's 'have an episode and enjoy yourself tv'. The gender-flip on Dr Smith seems to have irritated some people but if you stop sweating the small stuff there's literally no reason to care about the divergence from the original. And also, if you weren't paying attention you'll not have noticed when Judy clearly says that Mr Robinson isn't her natural father. So there's less reason to be confused about her heritage than some reviewers seem to think. I know a lot of genuine sci-fi fans will look down their nose at Lost in Space but if you're prepared to not take things too seriously I reckon you and your family could actually enjoy it.
