Watched the 3rd and final season of "Lost In Space" on the Netflix.
The first season was a great re-imagining of the campy classic. Or perhaps better described as an entirely new show based on the old one. It's got Will, Penny, Dr. Smith and a robot on a journey to Alpha Centauri, but that's where the similarities end. A bit slow at first, but well done. It bucks the trend of making everything a grim/dark/gritty reboot. The second season took it even further from the source material, introducing the evil robots and the fact that humans would never have got to Alpha Centauri without alien technology.
The last season's 8 episodes did a good job of wrapping everything up, and the ending was, for lack of a better term....wholesome. It was happy, of course, but also filled with wholesome messages about family, friendship, and the idea that even bad people/robots can change. It's nowhere near as good as The Expanse (I'm working on that one, too), but it's good for what it is...a fun, sometimes thrilling, sometimes corny sci-fi family adventure. Danger, Will Robinson!
