First-rate production values, a stellar cast, and a perfect blend of action and character development make Lost in Space a must-watch series.
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.

Grading on a curve to balance out some of the ridiculous one to three star reviews.
It's not perfect, but definitely has been worth the time spent watching it. I laughed at one of the top user reviews that complained about them always being in danger. Yes, that is the whole premise of crash landing a family on a hostile planet after their transport to a new world got attacked. They should be in danger all the time - and that's is something they get right. I think some of the family dramatics gets a little overdone - but not to the point where I cringe at it. There are a lot of complaints about Parker Posey's villainous character Dr. Smith. I personally think it's the best written character on the show - she's unpredictable, cunning, conniving, an yet there is a little glimmer of good you want to root for but can't. She's the character metaphor for the planet they are on. Danger! That's what it's all about when your Lost in Space.

SEASON 1
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.
Lost In Space is at its strongest when the unknown is coming for the Robinsons, not the other way around. The Netflix series never fulfills the wasted promise of Lost In Space, but for a show that’s navigating such well-trod territory, it does turn up some intriguing unknowns.
The show’s creative team--the writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless and the showrunner Zack Estrin--has assembled these spare parts with more competence than the project really required, and in the first couple of episodes they achieve something that could fairly be called Spielbergian, or at least Spielberg-esque. ... Things subside pretty quickly, though, and the balance of the season is a formulaic and increasingly sentimental family drama.
As a vision of adolescence facing a life-and-death crisis, it’s far too tidied, controlled, and sober to come off as relatable. There’s no sense of how seductive and overwhelming the unknown can be for an adult, never mind a kid or teenager. And as a vision of adulthood in both personal and elemental disaster, it’s simplistic, safe, and dominated by work.
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.
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.
