The second season of Netflix reboot of "Lost In Space" was vastly superior to its uneven first run in every respect. Funnier, more logical, better looking. Unfortunately, it appears at this stage that it might be too late to save the show, as, as I write this review, the notoriously quick to renew Netflix are yet to confirm a third season.
Adler (JJ Feild) and Will (Maxwell Jenkins) successfully get Scarecrow to the ring planet, and seemingly resurrect him. However, their arrival wakes Dozens of other robots, who set off towards the Resolute with destruction in mind. With the Resolute unable to get away from the impending threat, John (Toby Stephens) comes up with a plan to save the ships most important resource.
There were some aspect of this final episode that really looked phenomenal. The robot army careering down the corridors and especially when they are ensnared in the magnetic trap are a particular highlight. Visually, this series has to be one of the best TV shows we've had so far.
I do feel that some of the reviewers didn't quite follow what happened in this finale properly and some of the "plot holes" are of their making. However, I will admit to be confused as to how Will's Jupiter both returned to the Resolute and did that via the other planet to rescue some more survivors. It's like there was a scene missing that would have shown that. I liked Dr Smith's moments of redemption prior to her sacrifice (and then the inevitable reveal that her sacrifice wasn't what it looked like).
The season ends on an odd cliffhanger, with the children arriving not at their proposed destination but somewhere that might be key for the third season, if it materialises. We'll have to see whether we ever get it.
