Netflix has a way of making the abnormal seem normal, and the supernatural look natural.
Lost in Space is a sci-fi family tale, a story about bonding, surviving and friendship. It gave viewers every opportunity to be a part of the show, it is either you are a part if the show because you are a science nerd, or because you are a Sucker for family.
A family gets stranded on a strange planet, due to mechanical failures on the mother ship( or so they thought), the planet is homely, it's earth-like and it's Peaceful, or is it?
This is a show that if handled properly, can deliver them goods for Netflix, it has the right ensemble of characters, not much character development but enough emotional content to suck you into this seemingly peaceful world.
What makes this show so compelling is the conflict, it deviated for much part of the show from the everyday cliché of sci-fi TV shows, however with the season finale I fear for the fate of the show.
It may take a whole lot of effort for the series not to join the bandwagon of "alien-life forms hate humans", but knowing Netflix, they can prevent that.
For viewers who may want to give it a try, please do, it certainly does leave a lot for the suspense junkies.
Great acting from Molly Parker and Maxwell Jenkins. They were absolutely amazing.
FCA AppR: 8.5/10
