"Star Trek: Lower Decks" focuses on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet's least important ships, the USS Cerritos, in 2380. Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford and Tendi must keep up with their duties and their social lives, often while the ship is being rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies. The ship's bridge crew includes Captain Carol Freeman, Commander Jack Ransom, Lieutenant Shaxs and Doctor T'Ana. This is the second animated spin-off in the franchise after 1973-74's "Star Trek: The Animated Series," but has a decidedly more adult tone and humor.

Star Trek: Lower Decks doesn't care if you know Kirk from Picard. It'll have you cracking up at its "strange energies" all the same.

Lower Decks lives in that exact place where sci-fi irony and humanist honesty collide. And if fans are lucky, this show will stay in that time loop forever.

Lower Decks continues to be Trek at its best. The relatable characters are infused with a sense of earnest optimism, and the number of unique ideas, jokes and callbacks crammed into 30 min shocks. Yet it's the show's heart that never stops being amazing.

Three seasons in, Lower Decks takes more creative risks with its characters and story. Fortunately, most of them pay off for another winning season.

Just so wonderfully, irreverently nerdy and hilarious!

To me, the show got to its best moments in this season. There were a few moments with Boimler that I found to even be memorable and worth rewatching. I still wouldn't recommend this to most of the people I know who enjoyed Star Trek.

The content started to get too sexual and crude for my taste. No one wants another tacky and crude "Family Guy" cartoon show.

This is the peak season of Lower Decks in my opinion. It transitions seamlessly from irreverent humor to an intense emotional climax.

Probably the best Star Trek series running at the moment
