A spinoff of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Deep Space Nine" is set on a space station near the planet Bajor. This time, Commander Benjamin Sisko is in charge of a diverse crew. But unlike other "Star Trek" series, there's no USS Enterprise to help them. Sisko and the crew must fight off rival alien species who want control of Deep Space Nine because of its strategic position close to a wormhole, which allows speedy travel to the far reaches of space.

Ed Gross Empire Magazine Oct 23, 2017
A tour de force performance by star/director Avery Brooks. Go to Full Review Aaron Couch The Hollywood Reporter Oct 23, 2017
Who knew Star Trek could feel this dark, or conflicted? Go to Full Review Zack Handlen AV Club Oct 23, 2017
This episode just tries to accomplish too much, and in doing so, shortchanges almost everything. There are possibilities here, but few that generate real excitement; and death, when it comes, leaves everything looking hollow by comparison. Go to Full Review Michael Kent What Culture Oct 23, 2017
By my estimation, at least four of these episodes are among the best the series ever made. Go to Full Review Matthew Lowry What Culture Oct 23, 2017
In the end, straddling the line between comedy and serious drama does Profit And Lace no favours, being neither humorous nor engaging. What we're left with is the worst episode of the best Trek series. Go to Full Review John Putman What Culture Oct 23, 2017
In terms of drama, power, intrigue, and excitement, DS9 season 6 reminds us of the sheer greatness of Star Trek and why it is still unrivaled in the history of science fiction television. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

John C @Scatter Jan 28, 2026 Quite simply, one of the best seasons of TV ever put to screen. There are a couple of clunkers - particularly towards the end of the season - but there's a mid-season stretch of around 15 episodes which is just banger after banger. Far Beyond the Stars, Inquisition and In the Pale Moonlight are three of the best episodes of sci-fi you'll see anywhere... See more David K @RT03452373 Oct 10, 2024 One of the best science fiction shows in the history of TV! My favorite heroes, my favorite series and my favorite franchise! See more Louis F @Rene.J May 23, 2023 What you should do, starting with Season 1, is watch only the episodes related to the Dominion Wars. Ignore everything else. See more Mar 22, 2022 Peak DS9, if you thought the last two seasons were great, they have nothing on the magnificence that is Season 6. Beginning with a 6 episode arc before serialised storytelling was the done thing like it is today, this season goes on to have some of the best episodes on television (ever. period.) - Far Beyond the Stars and In The Pale Moonlight. But they're just two diamonds in amongst a season of spectacular gemstones: everything from a wedding (You Are Cordially Invited) to one of the funniest episodes of the whole show (The Magnificent Ferengi), and a bunch of hard hitting tour de force episodes (Waltz, Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night, Inquisition, Valiant). See more Jan 2, 2022 The conflict between the Dominion and Federation further brings in other forces like the Klingons and Romulans, and the writing only continues to strengthen. Some of the best episodes of Star Trek are specifically in this season, crowning moments for a oft-maligned series. You might never look at this show the same way. See more Samuel R @RT66527181 May 13, 2021 One of my favourite seasons of this franchise. A Time to Stand, Rocks and Shoals, Behind the Lines, Favor the Bold, Sacrifice of the Angels, Waltz The Magnificent Ferengi, Far Beyond the Stars, In the Pale Moonlight and Tears of the Prophets are the best of this season.
