An entirely adequate show that's come and gone without much remark or passion from either side of the camera, or the screen.
There's little to object to here, but nothing to enthuse about either. It's an absolutely straight (mostly) family friendly production of space adventure and survival.
Most episodes follow exactly the same pattern: a survival challenge which is overcome through spunky Spacemerican ingenuity, or (verging on literal) Deus ex machina, as the theme tune swells triumphantly. And everybody learns a lesson about the importance of family, again.
The characters are consistently written and all the cast do a decent enough job. Sets, cinematography, CGI, score, it's all competent.
None of it is brilliant though. There are essentially no memorable lines, nobody's character really develops, and as the seasons progress, it becomes clear that they've run out of ideas beyond "Bad robots".
The final season in particular feels both stretched and truncated, as they struggle to fill 8 episodes with a meagre plot, then end it all abruptly with an unsatisfying cop-out conclusion.
I made it all the way through, but was left wondering why I'd bothered.
