    According to some reviews it's good, according to others it's garbage.

    Can it also be both? Some of it's not so bad, other parts are not so good.

    Useless "Lost" - there goes any possible "potential" straight down the toilet.

    Literally decades ago, when Black Holes first became a public thing, I
    recall somebody retailing a SF convention about a proposal which was
    pitched to a network. The premise was that a family found a black
    hole in their backyard, managed to fall in, etc, etc. Looks like
    somebody found that old proposal and updated it slightly, mostly to
    include the obligatory wokeness.

    Always liked those 'lost world' movies.
    Great plot idea.

    The Land that Time Forgot with Doug McClure
    is still one of my favorites. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073260/mediaviewer/rm3409316608/

    impudence to distort the truth so infamously." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie

    Don't expect that from 'La Brea'. The producers have already said in interviews that it is about the people and their relationships. I.E.
    the 'Lost' model of soap opera.

    I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
    dirty old man.

    Reviewing the Wiki page on 'Lost World' genre... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_world

    At heart the early "Lost World' plots were a spin off
    of Victorian era adventure-romance stories.

    And as the world become more and more explored
    those shifted to space for the unknown and
    dangerous lands to explore. Or later even
    other times.

    A place where those that toiled unnoticed in
    everyday society could become the hero.

    Save the day and get the girl!

    Perhaps the most enduring of all male fantasies.
