The only reason I watched the whole of season 1 is that I was really in a mood for a space/sci fi story. If I had found something better on Netflix, I would have.

Giving it a 7 - 3 stars for all the visuals, some action sequences and some dramatic moments. 2 stars for some nice actors and their somehow sympathetic characters. 1 star for a few decent scenes and even some good humour. Final start just because it is 6.5 and I want to be nice to it, as I did finish it.

One of the laziest plot advancing tools is to make main characters on the same side not sharing vital information they hold. I hate it when I see it, it is dull, hardly believable and a lazy way to advance the plot without solving an issue sooner. And it happens ALL the time throughout the show. No one talks to anyone, and even when they do, they hide parts of the truth or outright lie.

The other most annoying aspect of Lost in Space, about which many of the top reviews are talking, is the decision-making of the main characters, particularly the Robinsons. I am not even gonna exaggerate when I say that the majority of the troubles everyone landed it was directly DUE to a Robinson being stupid. Have to highlight Will, his decisions nearly cost lives on a number of occasions (and only because everyone has THICK plot armour, besides one absolutely needless death in the middle of Season 1 and another kinda better-crafted death in Season 2, do his decisions stay nearly causing lives instead of causing them on a regular basis). The boy is a walking wrecking ball, and even when he comes up with a smart plan, it is to fix a mistake...which either he or his family members created in the first place. Short after him is Maureen, Judy not being far behind, and even Penny messes up 2-3 times, without even mentioning her ridiculous romantic plotline that is ALWAYS, whenever it appears, out of place. And what even is with the 3 kids (11, around 16 and 18 at the start of the show) often being the ones who come up with the plans/solutions/actions on behalf of everyone? It is said that the colonists are the best of the best, having passed numerous tests and training, and het somehow it is the 3 kids, who regularly get something wrong or act...like kids to be in charge of the action. Seriously, I admire everyone who wasn't eye-rolling at least twice each episode.

Last, but definitely not least, be prepared to REALLY suspend any disbelief. The main characters will be in danger about 5 times an episode (not an exaggeration either), but their thick plot armour would be getting them out every time. There will be instances where they will be seriously injured, but scenes later they will be absolutely fine. There will be instances where the premise of the danger, their actions and the development would leave absolutely no solutions...until something miraculously pops up. This is what I dislike about constantly putting main characters in danger. It does NOT create suspense, not after the first 2-3 times this happens. People only start being bored, asking themselves "what is it going to be this time, in what way will be this Robinson saved in the last second?" It creates a sort of emotional fatigue, not excitement, you can't care about them, if you know they are gonna be fine, so better stop putting them in danger all the time for the action, and create some actual story and plot development!

This show had plenty potential, some beautiful views, some potentially intriguing characters and sense of humour some nice scenes..but it can be so much better, it's so frustrating! I blame this on lack of effort from the script writers and director.

I understand any ratings from 4 to 7, plus maybe 8/10 for the bigger optimists. 9 and 10 are ridiculous and I seriously doubt the people who put them ever watching anything which is higher quality.

The ending was also boring and too much of a fan service, ending a TV show that was mostly feel-good but quite lacking in logic and actual plot.
