Okay, so I caught the first couple of episodes of Netflix's Lost In Space reboot, today. I've gotta say, so far, so good!
Definitely lacks the camp of the original 60's TV show (which I loved as a kid, by the way) but, to my way of thinking, that's a good thing. Also, even having just watched the first two episodes, it's orders of magnitude better that the 1998 cinematic version (even though, as bad as it was, I enjoyed, as well, if for nothing else than nostalgia). There's more a mystery/drama vibe going on with this one... Dr Smith has been gender swapped (played by Parker Posey with neurotic/psychopathic excellence). The Robinson's aren't exactly the strong, nuclear family they were in other versions, either... In fact, there seems to be some estrangement where John (the father) is concerned... and, the robot is apparently of 'alien origin' (and is utterly bad ass, in my opinion)!
Been a very enjoyable watch, so far! Here's hoping it keeps up!
