First, this is series isn't nearly as bad as many of the reviews would lead you to believe. Ignore any reviews that are less than 6 stars. These are people who either have an agenda to trash this show (too PC..) or are looking to have their own custom sci-fi show just the way the like it. Look for the reviews that are either 7 or greater, they are on the right track as to what this series is about.

Second, this isn't the original Lost in Space from the 60's. I grew up on the sixties series and even started my IT career based on the robot. I love the sixties show, but if they tried to do that here I would have shut it off. They tried to do the sixties show in the Lost in Space movie and that got trashed hard. I believe with this series they are headed in the right direction. This show deserves to be a good sci-fi TV series, not the spoof of the original series.

Last, I don't need a PhD astrophysicist to be one of the script writers to enjoy the science in this series. After all, it is science FICTION! If you can over-look the magical force in Star Wars or the flying dragons in GOT, you certainly can overlook some missed scientific points in this series.

As for my review, this show is a good show. It's not great yet, cause it does need some work to fix some of the characters and the story lines. The writers, I believe are trying too hard keep us on the edge of our seat. Not every plot and subplot has to be an existential crisis. And they are pushing the story line with a lot of improbable situations. But that is what I expect in any 1st season of a TV show. Better character development and better writing is needed. I'm sure they will work that out. How many TV shows first season absolutely sucked only find the next seasons only get better and better. I believe this will be one of those shows. The framework of the show works. It is based on the original TV show. All the characters are there. If you want good entertainment and lots of suspense, you'll enjoy this show. I saw all the episodes and I am very much looking forward to next season.
