Reception[]
Kevin Yeoman of Screen Rant stated the new season puts a focus on family while upping the ante in terms of high-flying sci-fi adventure. He also stated that the season introduces some interesting new elements into the program's mythology and that the series continues to impress with staggering special effects.[3] Michael Ahr of Den of Geek gave the series an overall 3.5/5 rating, stating that series is "remarkably consistent in presenting a danger for the Robinsons to confront through ingenuity and cooperation, in highlighting the importance of family beyond their nuclear unit, and in fighting against those who would threaten the group from within."[1] Merrill Barr of Forbes described the new season as "lean, mean and still pristine" and felt that while the wait for the new season was long, it was worth it.[4]
