Just started the 2018 Lost in space series, which has 3 seasons, and 28 episodes.

The original 1965 series also had 3 seasons, but 83 total episodes.

The cinematics are really good so far two episodes in

I am finding myself getting a little frustrated that every character is unable to communicate essential information effectively, everyone is lying about something, constantly.

It sort of feels like the show runners hired some reality TV script writers to fill in the spaces around the major beats.

Yah. Poor communication is an easy way to add drama and tension. It's one of my annoyances in a lot of stories.
If you can look past it here, there is some interesting stuff.
Over all, the series is perfectly fine. Nothing great, or terrible.

I don’t think I even finished the first season. The show frustrated the hell out of me.

Yeah... we are in space! We are on a new planet! Everything is new and fascinating. Why are we spending 80% of the screen time on somebodies sisterhood jealousy issues?

Like if hunt for red october was all about the frustrated love life of the command staff's distant shore families
