Some recent sci-fi's are highly intelligent with all the boxes ticked that make for thought provoking television ie, Altered Carbon. Some are a bit of fun and some intelligence to keep you interested in the science side of it Dark Matter, Killjoy. And then there are those like Lost in Space.
The old series was fun and didn't come near anywhere near the the original Star Trek and Twilight Zone but it still entertained. And thats the same with this episode. Its just fun and you can enjoy the family drama and the emotions and leave the thinking aside so that you can just enjoy the ride.
I love sci-fi, hell I try to write sci-fi, so I know sometimes its just fun to throw in all sorts of little stuff to keep the story moving and thats what this revamp seems to aim for. Its the kind of show you can sit back with the kids without having to explain the science of it all. Its a family show so you have to look at it through the eyes of Will, and put the thinking side of the brain aside and grab some pop corn.
I really liked it. I thought it was interesting enough for a binge. There are far worse shows.
