I’m not a big fan of the Lower Decks (the comedy just doesn’t hit the right marks for me), but hot damn it really regularly serves up die-hard Trekkie fanservice.
Honestly, an on-the-nose animated star trek show would be incredible. It seems more like they wanted to make Rick and Morty and were stuck “toning it down” to fit the setting, which defeats the purpose.
I don’t think that’s a good comparison. R&M punishes it’s viewers for becoming emotionally invested in it’s characters. Final Space is a more apt comparison in my opinion. It’s stupid and irreverent, but the characters have emotional development. So when it drops the irreverence to have an emotional moment, it catches you off guard, but it doesn’t feel forced.
I’m not ashamed to say I cried during the last parts of Final Space.
That’s an accurate description of about the first half of season 1. From there on out, it’s pretty much a Starfleet workplace sitcom that leans into the silly/weird stuff from older Trek shows.
