promo: Lost in Space 2018
Date: 2020-07-22 11:15 pm (UTC)20 episode tv drama available on Netflix. Final season expected, but probably not till 2022. The first season is on dvd.
what it is: a family is stranded in outer space, where they must confront the dangers of nature and space, and extraterrestrial robots. A reboot of Lost in Space from 1965, which itself is a take on classic novel Swiss Family Robinson by Johan David Wyss.
longer: A true family show, not just in the sense that you could watch it with kids, but also everyone from the eleven-year-old character to the forty-somethings has their own emotionally age-appropriate and plot-relevant storylines. (Probably has too much danger for the very little viewer, but that's it for content warnings.) There's action-adventure but the underlying mood is optimistic and a bit of a love letter to space travel. (It reminds me of original MacGyver in that it has lots of very earnest science-y problem-solving.) All the female characters are strong and awesome, especially Molly Parker as Maureen Robinson.
fannish appeal: It's a great canvas for gen space adventures and family feels. Has a charming ship of reconciled married people, and a fun jaded rogue/prim princess ship. Toby Stephens as a hot, grumpy papa bear. I do recommend sticking it out past the first ep, if you can!
contains: Two season 2 episodes contain some light flickers.
