Heyo just finished Lost in Space season 1 😱 and here’s my thoughts:
1. Bruh Will Robinson might be a precious bean but he also isn’t the nicest of friends. Aliens and robots of all kinds please exercise caution cause while he is friend shaped he is still very young and will make EXTREMELY BAD choices but you love him anyway because he is a precious bean 8/10 good growth. Would like to see him protect the robot more but what can you do he’s still so little
2. Judy. Just the power of this woman and her strength and her teasing relationship with Don West got me feeling things. She’s an excellent examination of someone who doesn’t like opening up to others, but somehow still allows herself to be vulnerable and kind. More people should be like Judy
3. Penny. Penny darling. She’s hilarious and romantic, but she also puts her family above everything else and while she might be inclined to laziness, she will do everything in her power to save her family. Totally fearless and what a legend. We stan
4. Maureen. Tough cookie; makes bad decisions sometimes and likes to displace the blame, but she will use her brains and save everyone. She loses herself in science because emotions are messy and she’s been avoiding the repercussions of her actions but overtime, her growth and realizations bring her to a softer, more affectionate place
5. John. Arguably the best and most character growth of the first season. We have someone who abandoned his family to fight the war because he felt like he had a moral obligation to save the masses. But you can’t save everyone. Sometimes you just have to save what you have. He grows closer to his family and finds it inside himself to make efforts to becoming a better husband and father. 10/10 good job
6. Dr. Smith. She’s a villain who is so clever at manipulation you fall for it too as the viewer. Every time something happens you think well maybe she’s trying to be a better person. And then she just wrecks it all. I don’t trust her slight redemption at the end. Every thing she does is to save her own skin and because she no longer has robotic protection, she’s going to use them for her purposes . I tell you I don’t often get this furious with a character but she managed it. Round of applause for this mf
7. And finally Robot. This boy is such a good boy and he didn’t deserve what happened to him (but what about what he did on the ship, you might ask- to which I say totally justified and also he can step on me) the episodes without him went the slowest even though they’re all good. Honestly I would have watched it for him alone. Fascinating character, funky design. We don’t get to learn much about him. He’s quiet and mysterious and seems to be stuck in a paradox where whenever he gets injured it’s like he becomes a baby bird and thinks whoever is standing over his broken body is his mother. 1000000/10 favorite character would watch him just standing there for the duration of the show lol
General overview: episodes are fast paced and constantly crank up the heat. Typically problems are resolved within the episode with a hearty cliffhanger at the end which makes it incredibly addictive
8/10 great execution, stunning visuals, diverse cast, with fully fleshed out characters
Only complaint is not enough Robot 😜
Off to season 2
