The original series is terrible. I liked it as a child but once I hit my teens I could see how wrong a child could be. Lost in Space suffered from poor production design (even the initial design work; so 1950s done in the mid 1960s) and, more importantly, stunningly bad writing.
I thought Netflix was all about quality shows. One cannot go back to the garbage dump.
