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 01/28/2020
"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

''Enterprise'' gets back to basics, then improves on them. Go to Full Review
Allan Johnson Chicago Tribune 01/28/2020
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 03/12/2024
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

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 04/21/2020
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

Nope N @Noppers Jan 28 I enjoyed it more than most. I thought it was great, and deeper than later seasons See more Max V Jun 20 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. See more Chris B May 24 Average start nothing special. Some good characters to like. See more David K 10/10/2024 One of the best science fiction shows in the history of TV! My favorite heroes, my favorite series and my favorite franchise! See more Mequias F 09/28/2024 Unable to find its own voice due to its replication of established Trek, “Enterprise” chooses to keep things superficial, often sacrificing deeper narrative for action and opting for triviality by doing so. These filming issues may occur when spineless producers and executives get cold feet regarding Art in a franchise that may no longer turn a profit (“Star Trek: Voyager” was declining at this time). As a result, creator and director agency flies out the window while squeamish, paltry writing sets in. Directorial decisions made under this duress often result in horribly bad plot and character design choices, such as Captain Archer’s “whatever it takes” attitude, a devolution of the wonderful “cowboy diplomacy” of Kirk, the former leaving the audience with a bad taste in their mouths. Furthermore, Enterprise completely betrays Trekkies’ understanding of Vulcans and their truly… fascinating… unemotional nature, devolving them into emotional and illogical in their behavior. Whether these choices were made with writer freedom or not, they fail to improve on past Star Trek iterations or leave any wisdom or moral in the viewer. Unable to incarnate any memorable characters, such as the majesty and masculine leadership of Picard, the positivity and selflessness of Janeway or the heartfelt determination of Sisko, I struggle to remember the names of this Enterprise crew; they fail to leave a lasting impression or inspire me. However, "Enterprise" IS still legitimate Star Trek. In keeping with its legacy, "Enterprise" attempts to address current themes in culture and society, and does so over the course of four seasons. Sadly, its underwhelming and unengaging subject matter is hardly ideal for non-Trekkies, leaving the show squarely in fan territory alone. See more George 03/17/2024 All I can say is that they really tried, and I love them for it This is much more earnest than New Trek, which is cynical to the bone. Take me back to the mediocre shows of the 2000s. At least the writers didn't hate their fans back then See more Read all reviews
