I have never read the book or don't even know if this is an adaptation before I started on the first episode.

The episode begins with Robinson family on a space fleet called Jupiter heading to a pre-coordinated destination. As we already know about the fate of their journey, the family crashes into an unknown Island that seems to be suitable for human living.

There is no explanation as to why the atmosphere of the universe is compatible for Humans. It states that there is 1 in a million chances and yet, we take it. We don't bother as long as humans can live is an unknown planet as long as it's 'safe'.

The episode then dives into the first barrier the Robinson family has to go through once they land in an alien planet. The story then moves back and forth between their current life and the events that led to their 'journey'.

The special effects is amazing. Top notch for a TV. What they hell, it even bests some of the 'million' dollar movies like '1000 BC', 'Snakes on a stupid plane' and stuff like that. The effects are clean and crisp.

The first episode keeps one engaging through out and it's an excellent watch.

PS: When I saw Mrs Robinson, I knew that I have seen some other series. I just didn't know which one. Then, I got it. Jackie Sharp from house of Cards. No wonder she looked so familiar.
