The new Lost in Space on Netflix is a showcase for political correctness propaganda. Will Robinson, and his father John Robinson, are wimps, Judy is now an minority, mother Robinson and Judy are the stars of the show. Dr. Smith is now female. The robot is an alien. The subliminal message is - white men are stupid and weak, women are smart, cunning, and strong. For the children in the audience, the show reinforces everything they are taught in public school.
Netflex movies are all about the lefts political agenda. I canceled awhile ago because Amazon is far better.....however the entertainment is left so I expect to see any entertainment with hints if not outright propaganda.
I watched it and your right. Mrs. Robinson came across as the the know it all wearing the pants in the family. She would not even let Mr. Robinson 3D print a weapon to use for protection. Your on a strange planet and the wife would rather not have any weapon to have for protection.
The robot was different, did not really like it. Then we have the sociopath the female Dr. Smith who was a total idiot.
All in all it was pretty disappointing.
