I'm rather surprised at all the negative reviews. I watched this show from beginning to end, binging it and wishing for more. Recently I started watching it again with my two young kids (10 and 7) and they both love it as well.
The acting, direction and production values are top notch. Yes, it is action-driven, but in a very science oriented way. All the people on the show are super-smart and need to science their way out of jams. I loved "The Martian" so this aspect of the show was a plus for me. I also love a good villain and Dr. Smith is the epitome of a "true neutral" adversary - she only cares about herself and her only motivation is to survive and do what's best for her. Parker Posey is terrific and one of the more underrated aspects of this show.
Yes, the constant roller coaster of problem after problem can be stressful to watch for some. And the family problems they all work through add to that. But to me this doesn't detract from a well constructed show with a cast that is throughly enjoyable to watch. Can't wait for Season 3.
