"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.

This opens up the world of Lower Decks, welcoming in new characters and recontextualizing old rivalries. Yet, amid all the new, this show thankfully hasn't lost touch with what makes it great. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone 09/07/2023
Next Generation and Deep Space Nine took a while to find themselves, and so did Lower Decks. As the series’ fourth season begins streaming today, it’s become a highlight of this current phase of TV Trek. Go to Full Review Dylan Roth Observer 09/01/2023
Lower Decks never asks you to get weepy about Star Trek’s past, only to laugh at it. The emotional investment is entirely focused on the future, on the Cerritos and her crew. Go to Full Review Julia Glassman The Mary Sue 12/13/2023
4/5
In an era of long-form, serialized TV that sometimes takes itself a little too seriously, it’s refreshing to have a bite-sized Star Trek series that offers just as much joy, humor, and adventure as its meatier counterparts. Go to Full Review James Whitbrook io9.com 12/13/2023
In all, through some smart changes to its status quo and an acknowledgement of its own passage of time, Lower Decks feels more confident and exciting than ever before in its fourth season. Go to Full Review Mel Valentin That Shelf 10/15/2023
Lower Decks fans can expect weekly doses of the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos doing what they do best, delivering outrageous, laugh-out-loud jokes, physical gags, and enough in-jokes to keep Ph.D. students in pop culture occupied for the next year or two. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

S K @sksksksk Feb 16 Still so good. And I *love* the choice of the season's villain! See more Christine K. @sci-fi-equestrian Jan 16 This show is a comfort show now and deserves 100% on the popcorn meter as well See more Toast M @RT28647132 08/17/2024 Amazing show, amazing characters. The plot gets a little convoluted this season, so I ticked off a star, but it’s still true to the tone of Lower Decks. The beautiful blend of comedy and emotion is the defining feature of this show. See more Marcio Andre R @RT03842754 07/29/2024 It´s really impressive the amount of errors. Those producers and writers deserve some kind of prize. No one could do some amount of errors and disrespect for so many years. Man they really want to destroy Star Trek till the last molecule! See more Paul S @RT20712104 06/27/2024 Sad that this series is coming to an end. I'd love to see if there was a continuation to the series. See more Jon L @JonLunatic 04/12/2024 They expand on the amazing lore so much this season! This is the direction Alex Kurtzman needs to take to keep the fans motivated.
