    The CGI is very well done but not unique. However, the most prized feature is the terrible acting particularly from the lead Max Jenkins and a Mina Sundwall. The script is absolutely trash to the point that it belongs on a CW tv series, It could have been written by a 5 year old. Overall, nothing worth seeing here. Skip

    A cringeworthy presentation of a white-bread family that has nothing in particular to do with being in space. 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.

    For the young kids only. Adults looking for cerebral and sharp sci fi will quickly begin to cringe at this sentimental and cheeeeesy soapy where the only character that elicits any interest is the robot.

    Particularly obnoxious are the family relationships. This show finds nothing wrong with the entire vapid brood turning on the father because he (horrors) was an active duty Marine. OF COURSE these squealing jerks hate the man who enlisted and served his country. That is 100% cool and represents the cornerstone of the familial contract in the stupid embarrassing reboot. You will despise these vile children and his faithless wife.

    You definitely have something more enjoyable to do with your time than watch this slobbery garbage, like root canal or vomiting.    … Expand

In episode one we get to see an amazingly futuristic ship strapped to something as basic as the I.S.S., with an intelligent computer that is proclaimed as being completely trustworthy, yet cannot detect major flaming debris approaching from the rear, or take evasive maneuvers. Many law of physics, from friction to impact stress, as well as biology/ecology are ignored for the sake of a cartoonish tale, where panoramic shots trump immersion. Cap it all off with a metric tonne of convenience (per episode), and you have a good understand of this show. Even binge-watching with heavy use of skip will not help much if you are an adult.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lost in space is so overrated it almost blows me away. This show is boring garbage. The family dinamic is terrible, some of the characters are useless and serve nothing but make the lenght of the episodes longer. But my biggest complaints with this show are the lazy script and the flashbacks. They're absolutely terrible!!! The sloppy dialogue makes every character interaction awkward and the flashbacks are even worse.
    Spoiler: Doctor Smith ( the villain of this show which is a terrible and cliched proffile of a psychopath ) and another guy are trapped on this plannet and a dangerous storm is getting closer to them and they have a flaregun. At the same time the main characters are driving a rover back to their ship. Then they see a flare. They go into that flare's direction and then only doctor smith comes. It's clear that she tricked that other guy and stole his flaregun but no we are shown a flashback to see how she stole his gun..................Why? Who thought this was a good idea? Anyway I was bored to death by lost in space and I am givinh it a 2/10 for decent CGI and a few decent characters. Oh and did I mention that the acting is terrible?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having watched the original series as a kid, the movie as an adult, I was still open to the idea of revisiting this show, for the the movie didn't really have time to flesh out the characters or story line. What I also was willing to look past was a reliance on CGI for flash for that is just how it is today, and the very young ages of the children (and their related skills), because the actors really made the children be a strong component to the story line without dropping it into a kids show.

    All that given, I still had to rank this as a moderate to poor series of shows. The first few episodes were decent. The interaction of the family, dealing with crisis, and even Will's first encounter with Robot was enough to keep me engaged. While there were some "ya gotta be kidding me" moments (water does not freeze that way, how can it be raining and the water freezing at the same time, why the Robot understands people, but can only say 'Danger' and someones name). Where it started to go south was the introduction of Dr. Smith.

    Yes, the original show had a Dr Smith so I guess if you are going to re-boot you need to have that character in play, but where the original Dr. Smith was superficially conniving character with undertones of guilt for his actions and moments of doing good, this current reincarnation of Dr. Smith was confusing and as the shows continued, such a drag on the plot line that I started to skip scenes she was in and tried to just figure out her impact. It was not that she was a bad person, she was an evil person and that character made no sense for that level of evil cannot exist for very long. Her behavior was sociopathic with each decision to do harm getting progressively worse. The writers then make the Robinson's, supposedly very smart and aware people, completely unaware of Dr. Smith's manipulations.

    I even skipped one whole episode simply because it featured the bad Doctor and how she fixes Robot and gets control. I didn't care any more and frankly, Will ordering the Robot off the cliff was not even believable other than to set up Dr Smith's later act.. In one scene she some how figured out how to turn off a perimeter fence to allow a nasty creature into destroy a communication device. Why? No real reason other than to create chaos, but that no one asks the question, how did that happen, who may have done it...nope, the bad Doctor once again gets away with her bad actions.

    But okay, she seems to gain the upper hand against Maureen and the family. she secures her seat on the Jupiter by force, then loses the Robot, is now discovered by the family to be behind all that bad things that happened, and they do what? They lock her in a room...on the ship...Why?

    The actor played her role well in creating a monster and in the world of the Robinson's, there could be no room for such a human for at some point she once again can become a danger to the children and the families survival. I would have been very happy to see John, or Maureen "accidently" space Dr. Smith and let the show writers find a more fitting antagonist. They seemed to have no issue dumping Don West (who i thought was more Doctor like than the Doctor) and I think he would have been the better character to keep.

    I am certainly not waiting on the next episodes to come out, and when they do, if the character of Dr. Smith remains in the same vein, I won't continue to watch the show for that one character ruined it for me.    … Expand

Because this one like the equally bad 90s reboot took out all the fun and humor and made it all grimdark, serious, and angsty. And like the 90s version, that would've worked if the acting, pacing, characters, and etc were any good, but like the 90s one, it isn't. What's worse is that despite the dark and serious tone, its PG-rated and setup as family friendly, which means nothing truly dark, serious, or suspenseful really happens to the any of the characters as it doesn't take any risks to achieve any serious emotional drama and impact other than predictably putting people in danger on purpose by doing dumb things (especially the Hollywood typical annoying kids) for the most predictable, faux, suspense.

    Someone needs to tell these sci-fi film producers that it's okay to relax and be goofy sometimes. There’s a place for that as the Marvel films have shown. Lost In Space was a perfect spot where that could have happened - just have a bit of camp and silliness in it, make it done with a bit of a wink to the audience and you could mix in some more deep stuff. Ash Vs The Evil Dead and Deadpool gets that right.    … Expand

    Parker Posey.. Who think she is a good actress?
    Dr. Smith was an annoying villain, and I would've enjoyed the show much more without her.
    She can't act, she is like reading script and her facial impressions make me cringe.
    It would be easily 7/10 show without Dr. Smith role.

    The storyline pulls you in, but the main character family is very basic, they have token minority actors with a primarily white cast. The character of June is very annoying and the storyline could do without. Victor could have just been the antagonist of the group and the story would have been more believable. I think i will watch season two, but only if the writing gets better.

    Besides lousy plot lines and scripts, I have issue with the characters. John Robinson is a wuss. Shown as a special ops, he cannot think for himself or do anything an expedition needs. HE need not be there at all. Parker Posey is a really bad actress. Her dialog is terrible as well.
    This show needs new writers as it has the potential to be much more.

    An additional thought: With the sudden expulsion of the Robinson's little Jupiter into an entirely new realm, please find a way to make Dr. Smith more interesting and less a pain to watch, or please kill her off as soon as possible! This series has great potential with much more skilled writing and significantly better creative thinking. If Season 2 is merely a continuation of the Season 1 disaster, the show will be gone in a couple more episodes.

    Absolutely no effort has been spent to make the "alien planet" not look like Vancouver in the Summer. A little creativity by the set designers (if there are any) and the show runners to make the show minimally interesting would be deeply appreciated.

    Because of my fondness for the original, I will struggle through the entire season with minimal hopes that much better writing, significantly better directing, and passable acting will make the effort minimally entertaining.

    Again, please either make this mess a clear comedic effort, or fire the writers and directors before the series is cancelled.    … Expand

    Being a fan of the original, I expected a bit more from the 2018 version. It is too much teen oriented for me and lacks humor. Characters are well developed, CGI is good but Dr Smith is sometimes too dark. The robot has evolved very well from it's original concept. I have high hopes for season 2.

The Robinson clan should have gone into therapy, not space. The dialogue is terrible, and the show is too freaking liberal. The Marine ops dad continues to kowtow to his feminist ex making LIS unintentionallly funny. This John Robinson, my friends, is no Guy Williams!!!

    I Cannot believe the crew of the Jupiter 2, as survivors, are on their way to a hostile environment without an arsenal of weapons to defend themselves all because Ms. Robinson did not want any onboard the ship. It’s a foregone conclusion where next season is going. Now the robot will have to do all the fighting and create (xerox) weapons convenient to the plot when needed. Ugh! Deus ex machina!!! About the only thing that's presented with any purposeful consequence is the pandering set-up for the second season.

    A few bright sides to this reboot is that the cgi is great, and hearing the John Williams theme after the Jupiter 2 busts free of its icy grave is a plus for the series. I also enjoyed the change of pace at the start of an episode where a collage of photos commercialize the space program: Past, present, and future. Good stuff.

    But watching Lost In Script for a whole hour is not worth the few minutes that I enjoyed. Yes, the robot is amazing for the exception that no one mentions why it speaks AND understands English.

    The crew is bad, really bad and the children cause half the problems. I think mission control forgot to load the Tang. These Robinson's couldn't colonize my backyard. If LIS continues down its backward, non-cerebral, juvenile path (which appears to be its direction), at least feature more action, less wordplay, and less female chest beating. Too much estrogen and not enough testosterone in this Robinson clan. As for Dr. Smith? I have to say it. "The pain. Oh, the pain..." Get rid of her, please! What a disaster! Also, forego the tired "boy and his robot" relationship, a facsimile and trope which is all too familiar. We've all been down that rabbit hole! The whole 10 episodes were like trying to run a marathon under the water. The writers take the whimsy and surrealism of the old tv show and transform it into this muddy, grimy, and droning diversity riddled space opera that completely over thinks the premise. Embarrassing!

    Anyway, if the writers cannot submit intellectual scripts with a persuasive execution for story & words, then may I suggest sticking to an arty production with imaginative eye candy? Above all, THINK. I'm not suggesting LIS resemble 2001: A Space Odyssey, even though the writers ripped off the movie by using an evil AI for taking over the Jupiter (remember HAL the computer?). But the audience doesn't need to be told everything that is already captured on camera.

    Limit the excessive babble and red faced humor lines, such as, Penny's bad acting when she says through her nasal like voice, "Anybody have a mop? I may have barfed a little bit back here.” (Albeit, a little ironic for how I felt about this binge of episodes). The point is the crew just escaped death. A long scan from the camera onto the crew's silent expressions as they look at one another, the sweat of fear on their faces from the nerve wracking, death defying experience, and the unmentionable sigh of relief that they're still alive from the Jupiter's rough landing should be enough.

    Netflix needs to give me 13 reason why I should watch season 2. If I do watch, the writers can beware of my fickle finger of fate on the fast forward button. Unfortunately, this is one expedition that should have been scrubbed long before the final countdown. Hmm... maybe season 2 will be the season where John Robinson finds his balls. As for Mrs. Robinson, she’d be better off doing Benjamin! LOL. ...

    Posey plays the role with a gravity that encourages the show to orbit her, eccentrically, whenever she’s in view. The dynamic exemplifies the awkwardness of this muddled update. Charging in several directions at once, it asks the viewer to imagine efforts to secure a proud future for humankind, but it seems most vital when painting depraved schemes to survive.

    Oddly enough, it’s the robot who proves most engaging. ... What really makes the robot stand out is its complexity. It’s mysterious, both in its origins, intentions, and inability to over-communicate. The human characters don’t earn the same mystery.
