Lost in Space (2018–2021)
5/10
I wanted so bad for this to be good! ATTENTION MILD SPOILERS
26 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I give it a 5 because I'm a scifi addict.

It's the little scenario holes that bug me:

They have to put up a security perimeter in a dinosaur infested desert, and they leave their horses OUTSIDE the perimeter. So at midnight "I think the horses are afraid of something ". Congratulations, Sherlock! The perimeter gets attacked by the dinosaurs, they're saved and... lo and behold! the horses are in perfect shape! Apparently they crave human flesh but not horses'...

Which brings us to a previous episode: Jenny has 30 km to go to save her father, she takes a truck although they break down on the planet, it breaks down, she has to escape dinosaurs and barely makes it. NOBODY THOUGHT ABOUT OFFERING A HORSE! They built a safe path and we already know they have horses, but, no, the episode has to last so much minutes so we need a diversion. Those useless minutes are a waste of my time... Maureen and John are floating on a gas planet and, out of nowhere, are hit by a SPACE WHALE that sends them reeling and they are almost lost (almost... they barely make it... see diversion above...). Speaking of Maureen : "strap on guys, it's going to be a bumpy ride " but she doesn't, because, hey, she's a super hero (one of the numerous things that don't make sense for people with a military training... including the security protocols, that are always brushed away to make room for more scenario holes... my god...). The ship goes in space for years and months but they don't recycle or compost, they have TRASH COMPACTORS! (Which shows it was written by baby boomers... or Americans... or both... people who haven't read about what's going on on our planet today...).

And for God sake: DO NOT BRING SMITH BACK!!! Enough already! (Come to think of it : don't make a 3rd season. I'm such an addict, I'll watch it and be annoyed again...)
