Land of the Giants (1968–1970)
5/10
THE LAGGEST OF THE IRWIN ALLEN SERIES
16 August 2022
A ship with three crew members and four passengers falls into a kind of black hole during one of its trips and lands in a strange world inhabited by giants, from there they will live disturbing adventures trying to avoid being caught and at the same time get the ship repaired to return to your world. This would be Irwin Allen's last production of the 1960s after the successful Voyage To the Bottom of The Sea, Lost in Space and The Time Tunnel. The premise is similar to Lost in Space in that we have a group of people lost in another world and one of them (Kurt Kasznar) would play a character similar to Dr. Smith but not as picturesque as Jonathan Harris. For my taste, the problem with this series is that the argument was too repetitive, in almost all the episodes one of the protagonists was trapped by the giants and the rest had to go to their rescue, which ended with stories that were almost the same as each other. The protagonists never became as picturesque as those of other series, the effects were well done if we see them with a late 60's look, but after seeing two or three episodes they ceased to impress.
