So after 2.5 episodes, my thoughts.
LIS Netflix is light on science and we find characters behaving sometimes illogically, that is more to fit the narrative. The script is really dull at times, or perhaps the writers believing that painfully less is more. In E1, John Robinson’s (Toby Stephens) lines are borderline neanderthal. Fortunately, this is somewhat explained by an underlying dynamic revealed in E2.
Still, the sets and scenery are lavish and the story entertainingly engaging, in the way that a modern Star Wars film captures the less cynical. Don’t worry so much about the technical issues, just go with it and enjoy the tale. The robot’s introduction and character is compelling, as is the new Dr. Smith reveal. Can’t say more without spoilers.
So, I’m in for the moment and would like to suggest that if you can keep your tech filter engaged, will probably enjoy it as well.
