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.

There are some clever references to past series during these last 10 episodes, but they're reminders that "Discovery" was never in their league. Go to Full Review Dylan Roth Observer 04/03/2024
This season has a brisk pace and the sense of fun that in the past has been crushed under the weight of grave galactic stakes. Go to Full Review Christian Blauvelt IndieWire 03/14/2024

This show did its job. “Trek” is in a far better, more stable place now... And “Discovery” can take a well-earned victory lap before its well-earned decommissioning. Go to Full Review Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Stereo Geeks (Podcast) Aug 9
I would say season 5 is a great send off for this show and this gorgeous cast of characters. We got a very fun adventure story, high stakes, so many Easter eggs, and wonderful character relationships. That last episode was so Star Trek and so emotional.

While it’s not exactly what purists may want from a Star Trek series finale, it’s in keeping with the tone of Discovery. The show went from a story about the bigger universe to just being about these characters, in this new, futuristic Star Trek universe. Go to Full Review Adrian Ruiz But Why Tho? 05/30/2024

babarizam D @RT59932316 Apr 2 I wish there was a way to give zero star. See more Cory P @Cory_2025 Feb 21 I've watched and loved all of the star trek series and movies, needless to say i'm a fan. Discovery and Academy though have to be the worst creations in the trek universe. Acting is poor but get's better over the seasons but it's painful to watch some of the interactions. Story lines are politicized. As soon as it started dropping the language and identity choices it wasn' something i would want my kids watching and that was the appeal of the trek universe, it welcomed everyone and not you just alienated every kid from becoming another fan. It had such potential. So disappointing. See more James S @JJAzz Feb 19 Only the mentally ill like this show See more S K @sksksksk Feb 16 Not so into the antagonists this season, but as usual, I tolerate the overarching plot to see the characters developing in other ways. Still love Burnham as a captain. See more F R @FSR2003 Feb 14 Pretty bad, not Star Trek. Don't know what this is.
