I loved Season 1 and looked forward to Season 2. So far I have not been disappointed as the adventure expands.
First of all Lost In Space is stunning, not only with the photography but the visual effects as well. Unlike most shows and many films I cannot see the effect even when I know it's an effect, especially when paired with live action which usually gives it away. The production design is equally impressive, with logical thought being present throughout from the suits to the ship itself, including small details like warnings and instructions posted wherever needed. While most shows will shy away from stories involving heavy or complex effects work, for Season 2 they seem to have gone out of their way to create the most challenging environment imaginable: water. Even so it looks amazing, and the live action elements are again seamless while showing how detailed the sets and suits are.
That being said the storytelling is equally engaging with one challenge after another presenting themselves. Lost In Space is a family-friendly version of The Expanse but perhaps that is where some of the criticisms are born, as many viewers complain about the melodramatic tone of the show, but I'll counter that by saying it is very much a show about a family, but even more so about the family dynamic, even extending beyond the Robinsons. There are lessons to be had at every turn, but rarely are those lessons heavy handed, keeping the show grounded within the world they've created. Yes, characters sometimes act stupidly but that's Human nature, and it is the way we react to stupid decisions that helps define us.
I for one cannot wait to see how the season plays out as mysteries of both plot and character are revealed.
