Critics Consensus

While some may find Star Trek: Enterprise a welcome return to a familiar universe, it's equally as likely to repel those uninterested in mining stories from the franchise's past.

David Segal Washington Post Jan 28, 2020
"Enterprise" has a bargain-basement feel that lands just this side of camp; the space fights aren't much more convincing than PlayStation offerings. And everything is wrapped in a trite message about unity and the importance of getting along. Go to Full Review Ron Wertheimer New York Times Jan 28, 2020
''Enterprise'' gets back to basics, then improves on them. Go to Full Review Allan Johnson Chicago Tribune Jan 28, 2020
Those who never got caught up in the whole "Trek" mystique will find this series approachable and fulfilling, without having to know the dense "Trek" mythology. Go to Full Review Joshua Tyler Giant Freakin Robot Mar 12, 2024
Jeffrey Combs’ brilliant performance as the Andorian Commander Shran demanded he be used as a recurring character, but probably should have also prompted them to go a step further and find a way to make him part of the regular cast. Go to Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies Sep 1, 2023
2.5/4
The 90s Star Trek charm has waned through this series, which has some nice elements but too many rough spots to make it top-tier Trek. Go to Full Review Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews Apr 21, 2020
3/4
Many Season One stories flounder through familiar-feeling alien-encounter and spatial-phenomena plots, but just as many episodes stand out for their creative energy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dan . @Dan.. Aug 23, 2026 This first season is worth watching and re-watching. It introduces a concept that i am much more used to see from stargate and similar shows. Here humanity is far from the best or one of the most developed ones and the show scratches a quite specific itch. After the second season the whole thing sadly gets out of hand, but this season is worth it. See more babarizam D @RT59932316 Mar 28, 2026 It's rather confusing season because I dont know if Capitan Archar was right to interfere other cultures. His behaviour and crew seems unprofessional despite being trained for exploring different worlds See more Courtney L. @RT82534812 Mar 16, 2026 It took a few episodes to become interested and a few more to become invested but after that, I'm all in. See more Bill G @1234554321 Feb 3, 2026 Could not stand the captain. See more Nope N @Noppers Jan 28, 2026 I enjoyed it more than most. I thought it was great, and deeper than later seasons See more Max V @RT38741054 Jun 20, 2025 This season is the best, great ideas, great background plot. Excellent character development. You see a spaceship going outside for the first time for humans. The first encounter with Klingons and other species. No universal translator. This season is for who already knew and like star trek, they'll love it. The first episode is a little slow to introduce the background, but from the second episode is a great work.
