Kirby · 30-06-2016 9:10pm

I believe on reddit, this kind of thing is known as a "sh*tpost".

Agent Coulson · 30-06-2016 9:27pm

Netflix have been talking about doing this reboot since the start of there move into Originals.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 30-06-2016 10:03pm

Would be great if the original series was available on Netflix. And Land of the Giants. Actually all of Irwin Allen's stuff would be most welcomed.

Nothing ironic about that statement

TerrorFirmer · 01-07-2016 5:55pm

The music at the start sounds incredibly 'Battlestar Galactica'.

Agent Coulson · 17-09-2016 12:31pm

Casting has started.

The next season is the final one.

Agent Coulson · 21-02-2018 4:33pm

Get Lost on Friday April 13th

pixelburp · 06-03-2018 3:47pm

Full trailer: do we know how much is being spent on this, cos it looks like a lot going by all the FX & locations on display. Netflix really are flashing the cash ATM...

In any case, looks intriguing, with a strangely 'The 100' vibe about it (astronauts trapped in Canadian wilderness haha), though something like this often lives or dies on how annoying or likeable its child actors are.

Comes out April 13.

That looks gorgeous - looks like they spent a fortune on it.

Robot looks very sinister. They couldn't really go for the old style though (with the vacuum cleaner hose arms!)

It does, doesn't it? I just hope they don't nuke its potential by releasing a gimmick movie around the same time as the show came out, ala Altered Carbon.

As many have remarked, the robot looks incredibly similar to the Geth robots from Mass Effect. Like, almost legally too similar

Agent Coulson · 25-03-2018 2:25pm

The pilot got a very good reviews at WonderCon when it was aired there last night.

Agent Coulson · 02-04-2018 8:16pm

I've seen a few none spoiler reviews call this a remake of Lost.... But in Space.

So Lost Lost in Space

Slydice · 02-04-2018 8:34pm

ah right, so in the end, it'll turn out they are all in a space museum with some sort of chemical lab next door leaking in some hallucinogenic gas

Agent Coulson · 02-04-2018 8:40pm

As I didn’t read and they say they are none spoiler I’m taking it as something along the lines of multiple timelines with flashbacks and flash forwards more so than an a remake of Lost in that sense.

And of course a Polar Bear in space.

gmisk · 02-04-2018 8:42pm

Good review on digital spy today

pixelburp · 13-04-2018 10:03am

Bumping the thread as it appeared on Netflix (IE) this morning; as always I'm a chewer, not a binger so I'll be taking my time, but actually kinda looking forward to this one...

13-04-2018 4:19pm

Watched the first one earlier. Was ok but wasn't mad on any of the characters so far. Found them a hard bunch to like.

Something at the very start gave me a chuckle, the autopilot/computer is calling their distance to impact in feet but the gauge on screen is in meters. They were doomed from the start :pac:

Slydice · 13-04-2018 6:26pm

Anyone get 2 to 3 episodes in? Advance reviews don't indicate the first episode is the one to get hooked.

Agent Coulson · 13-04-2018 6:29pm

Halfway through the second and finding it a bit Meh to be honest.

Beautifully filmed but not liking the characters they are quiet dislikeable.

fitz · 13-04-2018 9:57pm

3 episodes in and I actually quite like that

they've made the family dynamic a bit strained. I think the unlikeable-ness comes of the little bits of sniping at each other. It gives the characters somewhere to go, even if its a little obvious. Enjoying it a lot overall so far. The production design is lovely, action is decent, and the just enough mystery to things for now. Looking forward to watching more.

Bacchus · 13-04-2018 10:05pm

20 minutes in to first episode....

ehhhh... they're not lost in space. They're lost on a colony planet that they had intended on landing on, with 8 other ships parked somewhere else on the planet.

. This looks like they went halfway between the ridiculousness of the 'family lost in space on a planet of talking carrots' premise and a 'grounded in reality' drama. Its too dull.... so far.

gmisk · 13-04-2018 10:31pm

Just watched first episode... My first thought... Wow they spent a lot of money on this!.... Not bad let's see where it goes

ED E · 13-04-2018 10:41pm

The piece of music at 20s into the trailer reminds me of level 1 of some game but I can't remember what. Anyone any ideas?

Bacchus · 13-04-2018 10:52pm

Ah ok. The last 15 minutes or so of the first episode picked things up a notch. I like this take on the robot. I quite like Will in this too. Not too keen on the rest of the family yet though I did like how the mother had that deal in place. In fairness to them they do seem to be spending time to set up interesting characters. The last few minutes though... that was great, and yes it's clear now, they ARE lost afterall. Wonder was that

the same robot/alien

.

fritzelly · 13-04-2018 10:57pm

Looking forward to watching this over the weekend, looks like they spent mega bucks on it

Anyone under a certain age will not have a clue what that means!

biggebruv · 13-04-2018 11:19pm

The music is so ridiculous in this it's great music but it's way to over the top for what's happening and it feels like it's just constantly bombastic when there's nothing actiony going on lol

An example a girl character drops her necklace so guy character proceeds to take 10 steps to pick up the necklace and during this a dark knight action theme style music with drums is pounding lol

Characters aren't connecting for me either it's well made but sure that's no good if the story is boring and characters are crap.

The family also seems really chilled out about all the stuff that's happened to them so far and all the amazing stuff they see is nothing to them you'd think they have spent a few hours in the plex the way there going on lol

TerrorFirmer · 14-04-2018 4:00pm

It's terribly dull so far. Just OK but falls way short of expectations for me....very stilted, drab, and just generally uninspired.

Agent Coulson · 14-04-2018 4:24pm

It's more of a remake of Earth 2 than Lost in Space for me.

Basq · 14-04-2018 4:51pm

I watched the first episode and had absolutely zero desire to continue..

.. looks superb but that's it!

Unearthly · 14-04-2018 7:00pm

Yeah agree with last few posts. Found it very boring

Captain Red Beard · 14-04-2018 8:56pm

I've just finished it. It's alright, nothing spectacular but it's watchable.

gmisk · 14-04-2018 9:57pm

On episode 3....i normally love Parker Posey... But she is kind of atrocious in this, I don't mind rest of the cast and it looks fantastic especially the robot.

Hyzepher · 14-04-2018 10:24pm

Just finished all 10. The season is one big foundation for whatever is to come in the future and honestly it did a great job. I enjoyed most of it despite some obvious issues but it's a new series set in space and that alone will get a pass on some of the meh elements

but the expanse is back ffs!

Wedwood · 15-04-2018 2:57pm

Watched the first episode, excellent start, don't get why some people are a bit meh.

thank you so much, didnt realise it was back

around 3 episodes into this and its nothing amazing so far, hopefully it picks up

JohnK · 15-04-2018 8:27pm

Finished it now and while it had a few issues, overall I really enjoyed it and hope it gets a second season.

geecee · 15-04-2018 11:33pm

Same here, just finished a binge watch (my first ever genuine weekend binge watch) and really enjoyed it.

Funnily enough this binge interrupted my watching of "The Man in the High Castle" season 2, and the Japanese trade minister (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa ) is in both Netflix series...

fritzelly · 15-04-2018 11:40pm

Finished now - don't understand all the negative reviews, was never gonna be an absolute copy of the original - they took the core idea's/theme that's all, nearly every reboot is the same (but get the Earth 2 similarities). Liking Dr Smith
Hoping for a second series

Wibbs · 16-04-2018 8:23am

It looks fantastic, but I'd agree with others in that it drags. A lot. The pacing is all over the place, but mostly very sluggish when it shouldn't be and rushed when it shouldn't be. I reckon you could have edited it down to five maybe six episodes and it would have been so much better. Didn't like Dr Smith character. Ham acting over a script that doesn't really explain much.

Oh and the original was pure sh1te.

No really try and force your way through one episode. Hokey 60's tat without the brains or heart of a Star Trek.

Sleepy · 16-04-2018 2:28pm

Started it with the kids last night and got two episodes in. The 9 year old wants a robot of her own!

4 eps in with my 2 ten-year-olds. They love it. It's good to see a program like this which is suitable to watch with kids. There are not too many of them around.

TerrorFirmer · 16-04-2018 6:52pm

5 episodes in and it has gotten better - the initial episode was a major dud and needed way better visual flair, pacing, character development, etc.

But while I know every show needs a villian, the 'pantomine' Dr Smith villian in this is utterly ridiculous. We're stranded on the cusp of death 600 million light years from home but of course, rather than repent and adapt this former lowlife criminal has to continue her ways and undermine everything for absolutely zero credible reason whatsoever, contextually or otherwise.

Could've been brilliant and stood alongside the likes of Battlestar and The Expanse, but instead they chose to massively ham it up and it suffers. Still very watchable and entertaining but falls way short of what it easily could've been. I can see why younger audiences would love it though.
