1 PERDIDOS
NO ESPAÇO, TEMPORADA 2 (LOST IN SPACE, SEASON 2, USA 2019) - Netflix’s reimagining
of the 1965 sci-fi series is still all about problem-solving, and the
frequently outrageous scenarios the Robinson family finds themselves in are
more varied and engaging this go-around. The goals are simple enough: Get to
Alpha Centauri and find Will’s Robot friend, but the stronger focus on the
Robinsons working with and against the Resolute’s crew and passengers is more
engaging than the ludicrous scenarios the family often put themselves into in
the prior season. The Robinsons are all likable enough and given just enough depth to
emphasize with, but there’s nothing particularly nuanced about their
personalities to cause them to truly stand out. Posey’s Dr. Smith, one of the
more maligned aspects of Season 1, also continues to be a mixed bag: Her
character still lacks any redeeming aspects and the new flashbacks about her
past do nothing other than reiterate information the audience already received,
but her actions and relationships with the protagonists are given more meaning
and payoff. It’s a convoluted and rushed ending that doesn’t offer much of an
emotional payoff, but its teases are interesting enough that series fans will
probably be willing to overlook the lack of a resolution. “Lost in Space”
stumbles in as many ways as it soars, but with a tighter and more original
narrative and more fleshed out characters, the series could become a genuinely
great sci-fi adventure if Netflix decides to renew it for a third season.
