Season 1 Review: First-rate production values, a stellar cast, and a perfect blend of action and character development make Lost in Space a must-watch series. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Lost in Space didn’t have to be very good at all to improve on either the original or the movie. Still, it’s much better than might have been expected, as is Netflix’s ongoing One Day At a Time reboot. The Robinsons and their antagonists look good to go again. Read full review

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardApr 12, 2018
Season 1 Review: Netflix’s energetic reboot of the cult sci-fi series adheres to the best spirit of creator Irwin Allen’s vision of a family in space fighting for their futures. Read full review

TVLineMatt Webb MitovichApr 2, 2018
Season 1 Review: The cast is solid, the FX are top-shelf and the survival-related drama comes at a steady pace, with some episodes (the pilot included) delivering no less than white-knuckle sequences. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen GrayApr 13, 2018
Season 1 Review: Its casting is more diverse, its women more nuanced. Its Robot is amazing. But the story, which I liked better 10 episodes in than I did at the beginning, takes a long time to get off the launchpad. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydApr 13, 2018
Season 1 Review: It's not without problems, mostly having to do with pacing and length and a certain narrative repetitiousness that creeps in when your story arc lasts 10 hours. But its solutions to building out and modernizing characters who in the original were brightly painted cutouts are generally sound, while some basic alterations to the premise help ensure that the new series is not the cosmic "Gilligan's Island" the '60s series became.

Season 1 Review: There’s nothing particularly challenging here narratively, and the series starts on some rocky terrain before it finds its footing, but this is high-caliber escapism, the kind of well-done show that develops a propulsive rhythm as you get to know the Robinson family.

The Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergApr 10, 2018
Season 1 Review: It's an old-fashioned, fast-moving, family-friendly adventure yarn unmuddied by an excess of subtext, political undercurrent or narrative mythologizing. Even feeling overcalculated at every turn, the show is fun, occasionally exciting and ever-so-accessible. Read full review

Cleveland Plain DealerMark DawidziakApr 10, 2018
Season 1 Review: If not as sharply realized and profoundly resonant as the "Battlestar" reboot, this "Lost in Space" is a visual stunner packed with exhilarating action sequences. It's not a great drama, but it is great fun. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Lost in Space has taken on that baggage and still achieved a credible liftoff and landing to its first season. The question lingers how long these Robinsons will be able to sustain that creative trajectory. Read full review
