Netflix reboots a 1960s sci-fi series. And Wyatt Cenac hosts a docu-series exploring America’s most pressing issues.



What’s Streaming

LOST IN SPACE on Netflix. The latest high-budget adventure from Netflix is a story from the past set in the future. It’s based on the CBS sci-fi drama of the same name that ran during the 1960s space race. In the 2040s, members of the Robinson family join a group of colonizers and become lost en route to their destination. They end up on an unknown planet, battle the strange environment and make an uneasy alliance with a robot to survive. Molly Parker and Toby Stephens co-star. In his review for The New York Times, Mike Hale wrote that the show is “a distillation of several generations’ worth of family-adventure and science-fiction blockbusters.”

CHEF’S TABLE on Netflix. There are food shows that focus on the host’s personality, like “____, That’s Delicious,” and others that home in on cultural aspects, like “Parts Unknown.” But none build narrative quite like “Chef’s Table,” which takes a cinematic approach to exploring the outer and inner lives of the world’s best chefs. The show lingers on excruciatingly beautiful close-ups of black truffle dim sum and chayote squash, then follows their creators into their messy homes and chaotic favorite markets. The fourth season streams Friday, with a twist: It’s dedicated to pastry chefs, including Milk Bar’s Christina Tosi.
