Lost in Space - Series Review

---- Can contain spoilers ----

Netflix's new space adventure series, Lost in Space, is a reboot of a series by same name from 1965. It consists of only ten episodes but that easy to forget as each episode is about an hour long.
A spaceship of some of earths best and brightest are flying through space to find a new planet to colonize as the earth is dying. But an incident is happening and the passengers are forced to evacuate the ship to save themselves. Flying to a safe distance, several of the evacuated passengers crashes down on a nearby planet. The passengers now have to survive extreme climate, uncharted lands, alien fauna and personal intrigues until they can find a way back to their ship and further on to their new home planet.
It is a futuristic survival story with smart and highly educated people. It sounds a little boring. Usually survival stories have a large variation in the characters and there is usually a lack of smart people. One would think that a group of highly trained smart people easily could figure out a way to survive. And they can, they are fast to find a solution to every problem, just not the problem of a most annoying woman.

It is a fine series, it got the basic; someone to hate, someone to love, rich background story and a easy to follow plot. It got nice alien animals, sentient robots and cool spaceships, so it also have the sci-fi on point. But it was not amazing, to compare it with something, I would say a slightly more boring version of The 100. They are skipping a lot of the survival part because they have so much high tech equipment. I will give it three out of five stars, just slightly over medium.

And a last thing, they meet a creature that is a fuel eating eel. So I asked a biologist and got confirmed. That if you have a creature that have evolved the ability to eat rocket fuel, there would have to be a similar substance accessible for a creature to evolve this ability. Just a thought till when someone puts in a creature that eats fuel, there have to be fuel that can be found.
