I've never watched the original lost in space series so I've never felt the pang of nostalgia that many people have spoken about. Lost in space is a decent family series with many feel good moments. However, there are many moments in the season that left me frustrated. There's just way too much not going right for the Robinsons and the story line is one of them. If there had been one dramatic event that was leading up to an amazing finale then it would have been satisfying to watch. Instead every episode involves a different life-threatening melodramatic event which is really taxing on the patience of the audience. But if you can live through the agonizingly slow first half of the season then you'll be rewarded with a really good last two episodes and a decent cliffhanger at the end of the season.
