Like the original Lost in Space, Land of the Lost, which ran for three seasons in the mid-to-late 1970s, is known for cheesy special effects that border on comedic despite a relatively earnest execution in the storytelling.
The 2009 film adaptation, starring Will Ferrell, went for earnest special effects with cheesy execution in the storytelling that barely passed as comedy.
It is clear to me, based on previous successes, that Netflix has the ability craft a reboot that gets both the storytelling and the visual effects right, creating a world that has a lasting, chilling impression on viewers.
