    After watching so many hours of this boring show, looking at a wall sounded like an improvement.

    From Batman (’60s camp classic became morose Dark Knight movies) to Battlestar Galactica (bad utopian ’70s sci-fi became good dystopian sci-fi), the idea is to complicate the original premise and go for a realism signified by a somber tone and a cynical, knowing air. Knowing this, the new version of Lost in Space seems to be trying to have it both ways, and loses in the process. ... After checking out the first few episodes of the Netflix series, I found myself wishing [Matt] LeBlanc would rocket-ship in for a cameo.

Family-friendly in the most bland and anodyne way, lacking pathos or drama (except of the most tediously obvious kind: putting people in danger), and with no educational value or intellectual foundation, there's no good reason for this dreary show to exist.

    Spoilers (sort of):

    Oh no! Everyone is in danger! Whew, we're saved. Oh no, character #1 is in danger AND character #2 are in danger AT THE SAME TIME. Also, character #3 is badly hurt. Everyone is saved! Additional plot line characters are in danger! Whew, they're saved. BUT WAIT. A weather event is putting EVERYONE IN DANGER!

    Sigh.

    The sets are damn impressive. But when you add up the odd casting choices, poorly developed dramatic arcs, and painful lack of cast chemistry, the real object in danger is my attention span.
