Andrew Lowry Independent (UK) 10/24/2017
This is good stuff, with a pleasing moral crunchiness - although we seldom get to see the broken Lorca in private. Go to Full Review Ed Gross Empire Magazine 10/24/2017
4/5
Despite the fact that there is a "bottle show" quality to this episode... there is some great character development here. Go to Full Review Mallory Ortberg New York Magazine/Vulture 10/23/2017
3/5
Star Trek giveth, and Star Trek taketh away, and this week Star Trek leans pretty heavy on the givething. Explanations! Meaningful follow-up! Weirdly inert daddy-daughter hand-to-hand combat by an inexplicable infinity pool! Go to Full Review María Garduño Geeks of Color 08/18/2018
This episode was fun and entertaining, and while the war was mentioned and on the background, the fact that they focus more on building characters and developing the relationships between them was what made it my favourite episode of the series so far.

Star Trek: Discovery has been getting tighter with each episode, but in last night's "Lethe," the show turned a corner into addictively good storytelling. Go to Full Review Monique Jones Slashfilm 03/14/2018
A series about war doesn't allow for much positive learning, and that's where Discovery fails its protagonist and many Star Trek fans who just want some fun exploring in the stars to start their week. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
