I believe it was joefavs (on twitter) who said “I don’t see the point in doing Lost in Space if you aren’t going to make it campy as hell,” and I’m inclined to agree.
I only watched the first five episodes of the original series (not counting the pilot), so I never really experienced the infamous campiness. I was just hoping for a genuine sci-fi series featuring likable characters lost in space; this doesn’t deliver in any respect.
