    Check out “Lost In Space” on Netflix.

    It helps to watch a couple of episodes of the 1960s original, because they took the stupidest stuff and reworked it into something really good.

      I want to say I’ve watched it, but it must not have left much impression. As for the original, it was that or Star Trek, and one was preferably better lol.

      “We can take props from Forbidden Planet and make a sitcom.” Just…no.

        The first season is much more of a light horror serial. Way more focus on chilling monsters and such.

        iirc, Irwin Allen got a lot of complaints about that, so he decided to be rightfully petty and flipped hard the other way into deliberate camp. A bit of spite to the complainers.

        Thanks, conservative busybodies.
