It’s better than the movie remake. I agree though. They need to change a few things. I only got finished with the first episode. Why did they make the mom the one who’s in charge? What exactly was the reason behind a female Dr.smith? Why does the robot look more like a guy in a suit,is it a throwback to the original series where there was a person in the robot? It is a current trend in Hollywood to pump up minorities --- women, blacks, etc. The females in this show play a major role. And the guys are relegated to loser support roles. And non judgment is a big part of this show too. People screw up and nobody is held accountable (everybody gets a trophy). It is very PC. I don't mind the mom being the alpha male. She is the best character in the show in my opinion. But like many things coming out of Hollywood these days, it is very pro minority. And very non judgmental --- no right and wrong, no criticism for screwing up, no respect for the parents, anti violence and weapons, etc.

The memory flashback for Judy stop pretty quickly. I think by eps 3 or 4 she is back to normal. I didn’t care for it much either but it advanced a PTSD subplot. I am so tired of movies and TV shows about people who can't handle things. People who are always freaking out, flipping out, or emotionally traumatized. Is that what audiences like? I find it eye rolling boring. People who CAN handle things are more interesting to me. Yeah that stuff seems like it's geared toward teen angst/drama series. Teens love that "I'm damaged" stuff.

Yes, and politically speaking, Hollywood is very liberal and in support of the SJW (social justice warrior) agenda. It is very supportive of "victimhood". They just love the emoting, feelings and sensitivity. And characters who are in touch with their weaknesses, vulnerability and feelings.

I was a teen once. I never liked these weenie "Oh I am so emotionally overwhelmed" characters. They always seemed pathetic to me. We respected people who were strong, people who could deal with stress, adversity and a challenge. The hero was the one who never gave up, and shined when things seemed their worse. I don't get the attraction to victimhood these days. I like winners, strength of character and courage. I see nothing attractive about losers, weakness of character and cowardice.

Never blocked a member so fast before.
Anyway, I thought this was a thread about the original. It just seems a trend nowadays for people racing to call every piece of media "stupid"

What films or tv shows would you say are filled with winners?

What films or tv shows would you say are filled with winners? I can't think of one today. But when I was growing up, almost all, if not all heroes were portrayed as overcoming seemingly hopeless odds to succeed. It was cliche that the big climatic victory took place at night and/or during a raging thunderstorm. That was to symbolize when things looked their darkest. And we responded with courage in difficult times. Now it seems everyone is a sissy who is extremely in touch with their feelings. And proud to show their weaknesses, fear, anxiety and stress. And you seem to get more kudos if you have really deep psychological problems. It all plays into this liberal, SJW crusade that losers are not bad people. They are just victims that need to be coddled, rescued, understood and excused for being a loser. Heroes were portrayed as responding to difficulty with focus, decisiveness and courage. Now everyone is portrayed as responding with reluctance, hesitancy and fear. So that others can relate, "But of course one would be afraid in that type of situation." I know from experience, being reluctant, indecisive and afraid can get you killed in a life and death situation. And can cause you to be unsuccessful in others. When I was young we learned how to be successful from many different sources. But one was TV shows and movies. We wanted to be like the heroes on screen. But now everyone is learning how to be a loser. That your feelings and weaknesses are more important than winning. We are becoming a nation of sissies and losers.

They respond to dangerous challenges with decisiveness, focus, and courage (most of the time). I know that is fantasy fiction. But so is "Lost in Space".
