I just started this show. I haven’t really liked any Star Trek show since STNG, so I kept putting this one off. Mostly because Picard hasn’t been well received
I am halfway through season one. I am not sure what to say about this show. I don’t love it. Parts have a lot of promise and parts are just so clumsy. It has a serial story, but it is clear that whoever is writing it is still thinking episodically. Things are really sped up and the writers have an obsession with illustrating backstory in the worse way. So many scenes with laborious dialogue.
The show is also a lot more realistic view of the federation than previous Trek products I have seen.
Overall there is enough goodness to keep me watching and again, I don’t love it.
Have you watched Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks? As someone who also hadn’t gotten into Star Trek since Next Generation, those were exactly what I wanted.
I have seen SNW. It is 6/10 for me.
I liked it until they started doing a fucking musical.
I should have said I have only seen the first season. It has really corny parts
It gets worse every season. With the Ellisons owning it Star Trek has nothing to say. Just pretty CGI and action plots. The soul of it isn’t there in SNW.
