Lost in Space - I was wondering why Damian Lewis sounded so strange

... until I looked it up on IMDB and realised it was Toby Stephens. I've had trouble telling the two of them apart before. Grin

I'm only about 20 mins in, but liking it so far.

Think we’re going to give this a go too!

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 13/04/2018 13:18

Well, take it from me, John Robinson is not Damian Lewis, not matter how much you think it is. Grin

I just clicked on this thread to find out how Damien Lewis was in it without me noticing. Smile

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 13/04/2018 21:58

Do you not think they are very similar looking TheSecond?

Same age and colouring, I'll give you that.

I quite like this (on Ep.3) & I don’t generally like Sci-fi.

But the “Netflix Original Series” banner at the start is really annoying me. It’s a remake. Which I know is pedantic.

A truly awful show............. I'm really starting to think most of Netflix's own shows are utter tripe.

SimonBridges · 16/04/2018 22:05

Just finished it and loved it

Toby Stephens is Maggie Smiths son.

Andylion · 20/04/2018 21:53

I've two episodes and so far, I'm enjoying it. I love Molly Parker and Toby Stephens.

Wingbing · 21/04/2018 08:33

I like it. A few ropey scenes and poor choices for a family lost in space but a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

Ginmakesitallok · 21/04/2018 08:34

Just finished it - loved it! Come on season 2!

Flisspaps · 21/04/2018 08:39

I can see how you confused them

I have started to tune out, but DH is ploughing on with the kids. There has been much discussion about how they lurch from one crisis to another. DH has just finished reading a book about story telling by a screenwriter (‘Save the Cat’ by Blake Snyder), so they are dissecting the plotting and cinematic tropes as they go along. It’s a rich seam of filmic ham and cheese as far as I can tell from their discussions.

Tigresswoods · 27/04/2018 22:55

I'm afraid I gave up at E5. Annoying characters.

boatyardblues · 27/04/2018 23:36

Toby Stephens is middle-aged woman man-totty, but its otheewise dull and internally illogical. (Why does a moth-eating monster need huge fangs?)

StormyDaniels · 27/04/2018 23:45

Damian Lewis only opens his mouth a tiny bit to talk (at least he did in Homeland), I think toby Stephens has full use of his mouth. Top tip to tell the difference between them in the future.

boatyardblues · 27/04/2018 23:46

Loving your NN Stormy. Grin

StormyDaniels · 27/04/2018 23:52

Thanks boat. Lot of drama going on at the mo, it's nice to relax on MN for a bit... Grin

LadyGlitterSparkl · 27/04/2018 23:54

I said to my dh that they looked alike, he didn't agree

boatyardblues · 28/04/2018 11:05

Damian Lewis preens more. I find that helps to set them apart.

Andylion · 02/05/2018 18:12

Does anyone find the robot attractive?

Gosh, it's absolute tripe isn't it?

Me and my OH have just finished watching it. I don't think I've ever been more overly emotionally invested in a tv series I've hated as much. It made me so angry but I couldn't stop watching it! Grin

And YY to whoever said Damien Lewis only opens his mouth a tiny bit. I noticed this in both Homeland and Billions, which we have just started watching. I wonder if it's how he squeezes out the American accent? Does he open his mouth fully when he's playing a Brit, has anyone noticed? Grin

Samcro · 05/05/2018 00:01

i really liked it. daft as fuck , but fun, hope there is another series

5foot5 · 15/09/2018 19:05

Oh I enjoyed it too. Very silly but fun. We just finished it last night. Hope there will be a second series.

UsedToLoveMorrissey · 19/09/2018 16:48

I’m another one who thought it was Damien Lewis at first. As a family, we enjoyed it. The first couple of episodes are a bit ropey but it is good family viewing and we all enjoyed watching it. But we also like Anne with an e which everyone else seems to hate 😂
