Sep 25, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic As the medium of television evolves, it's comforting to know that Star Trek is there to evolve right along with it. Sep 25, 2017 | Full Review… David Sims The Atlantic Top Critic While Discovery is fundamentally quite different from much of the Trek that's come before, its engagement with the franchise, and willingness to both celebrate and examine its core values, keep it true to that spirit. Sep 24, 2017 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Liz Shannon Miller indieWire Top Critic The actor playing this mysterious Gabriel Lorca -- Jason Isaacs -- also happens to be a major talent who instantly lifts Martin-Green's game. These two appear to be a winning, multidimensional combo.

Sep 29, 2017 | Full Review… Justin Burke The Australian Top Critic It's got enough good stuff to keep me watching.

Sep 29, 2017 | Full Review… John Elledge New Statesman Top Critic This messy iteration is not what Trekkies deserve. Feb 1, 2019 | Full Review… Ani Bundel NBC News THINK The effects are suitably impressive, the characters and premise are compelling, and a clear effort has gone into producing something new and different that still upholds the spirit of hope and optimism the entire franchise embodies. Jan 28, 2019 | Full Review… Zaki Hasan Huffington Post It was a risk to set a new Star Trek show several years before the events of the Original Series, but, as it turns out, it was a risk worth taking. Nov 16, 2018 | Full Review… Gem Seddon SFX Magazine Star Trek: Discovery seeks its own personality within the saga. And it's on its way to finding it.
