Created by Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman for CBS All Access, the story of "Star Trek: Discovery" begins roughly a decade before Captain Kirk's five-year mission -- as portrayed in the original "Star Trek" from the 1960s -- and a century before the events of "Star Trek: Enterprise." The series follows the crew of the USS Discovery as they encounter new worlds and civilizations, delving into familiar themes and expanding upon an incident that has been talked about within the franchise's universe, but never fully explored.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

With less canonical baggage and a welcome dose of character development, Discovery continues to forge its own path and is narratively all the better for it.

5/5
It's finally able to grow, unfettered by entrenched canon or unnecessary blockbuster aspirations (or unnecessary white guys - did y'all even see one this week?), into a series that will succeed or fail as a Star Trek show on its own merits. Go to Full Review Pat Brown Slant Magazine 10/22/2020
2.5/4
Despite a premiere that augurs poorly for its broader narrative arc, Discovery's third season at least momentarily succeeds in thinking about undiscovered things to come. Go to Full Review Zack Handlen AV Club 10/22/2020

This isn't even a bad set-up for a season-long arc, it's just so quick to assume we'll automatically care that it doesn't bother explaining why it matters. Go to Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv 10/11/2022
Leaping ahead 900 years seemed to really liberate the storytelling and the series has finally found the right balance between big-screen action and (sometimes too much) dialogue. Go to Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies 04/28/2022
4/5
With a jump into the distant future, Star Trek: Discovery is truly going where no one has gone before. Go to Full Review James Whitbrook io9.com 01/11/2022
For the most part, it crucially remembers the themes and character beats that have mattered most to Discovery this season, and how even at their simplest, they've lent the show a sense of optimism it's always wanted to chase... Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Michael B @miggitymikeb 6d Lifelong Star Trek fan, enjoyed S1 and S2 but had some qualms about it. Sadly, S3 they lost me completely for a dozen reasons. Unearned emotional nonsense, whisper crying, and the worst thing the show did was have Saru step away from the captain's chair. The character of Saru they built for 3 seasons would never have abandoned his ship, his crew, and his mission like that. Total nonsense. See more Pedro M Oct 16 The only reason I gave 0.5 stars, it's because it was impossible to give zero stars, or negative stars... Unless you really hate yourself and want to waste precious time of your life, I wouldn't recommend it... Even for my worst enemy and as a form of torture, let's not be that inhumane, right?? Unbearably terrible, sticking knives underneath your nails is probably a better entertainment. Is not even a matter of "not being Star Trek" it's a matter of not being science fiction.... The tardigrade... Oh boy... The tardigrade... No, nope... Can't stand this... A true crime against humanity disguised as a show. See more Stefano T @Giant_Lizard Sep 19 Even worse than season 2, in my opinion. Still too much action for being Star Trek, too cringe scenes, too many "Hollywood one-line-action-movie-jokes". See more Tyrone C Aug 29 Best Trek ever. the show is so good that it spawned 3 spin offs and honestly should have been 7 seasons. Great cast Great story. See more Adam W Aug 8 Season 3 is the first season in which Discovery finally feels as if it has found its proper footing. This show always felt as if it belonged in a post-TNG era, and here we finally are. Saru continues to be a standout character and his turn in the captain’s chair does not disappoint. It’s only too bad that his time appears to be over as quickly as it began. See more Marvin N @New_Redshirt Jul 26 Discovery is getting better every season! See more Read all reviews
