Pike is the Starship captain Trekkies have been missing, and Strange New Worlds is a welcome return to the Star Trek they know and love. Go to Full Review Owen Williams Empire Magazine 06/22/2022
3/5
Comfort blanket Trek with a great cast, snappy writing and plenty of strands to unwind in future episodes, Strange New Worlds achieves everything it intends. But there’s a lingering feeling that there’s perhaps not quite enough that’s strange or new. Go to Full Review Pat Brown Slant Magazine 05/09/2022
2.5/4
Much of what the series offers can’t help but come off as clever franchise strategizing. Go to Full Review Eilis O'Hanlon Irish Independent Oct 21
Alas, the dialogue was stilted for the most part and the adventures too perfunctory. Go to Full Review Iain Robertson Starburst 03/23/2023
3/5
Unlike its contemporaries, the all-new adventures of the Enterprise (still the greatest starship ever) actually felt like Star Trek: a fun, if derivative, cousin to The Original Series. Go to Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof 03/01/2023

Miguel L @RT24525150 5h True masterpiece! I feel like this is original Star Trek! See more Mike P. @MikeisaPATRIOT Mar 6 I wanted to like this. I wanted to like it so much. I miss Star Trek and I got Paramount + just for Star Trek. I kind of liked it, sort of. The Captain is like effeminate version of Pike from TOS. He was aware of his end as established in TOS but why? The new Star Trek movies are not cannon. Mr Spock is the most emotional guy on the bridge and NOTHING like Mr Spock from TOS. Why? It’s an alternate timeline. So, as stupid as that is, fans are forced to accept this to watch those movies. Now Pikes character is all focused on his own future tragedy which was established in TOS. Yeah ok. You have a 5 year run to do. Why? It’s just average, at best, like eating cooked broccoli but having some yummy cheese to dip it in. Bad but you can watch it. Once. Will I ever watch it again? No. See more Mark E @Sulla Feb 21 Prefect, not a single poor or filler episode, all the Characters get earned growth and development. Balance between action and humor is spot on. Simply the very best Star Trek series since DSN. See more Michael P. @MichaelPerm Feb 20 This was great and well done. See more Jason S @invinoveritas Feb 17 After STD and the first 2 seasons of Picard, my expectations were low...very low. I was skeptical that the secret hideout crew was capable of producing a good Star Trek show, but this was a pleasant surprise. It's not perfect, but it's entertaining. See more Carlos M @CaduMartins Feb 14 Strange New Worlds is a fantastic ride and easily the best Star Trek TV show we’ve had in the last twenty years. Anson Mount is brilliant in the role of Captain Pike, and the rest of the cast are also talented, even if some look different from the original characters. The ship itself looks incredible, they managed to make the original Enterprise look futuristic without losing its essence. However, the new warp effects are very exaggerated. Despite the small inconsistencies, the episodic storytelling successfully recaptures the classic spirit of the franchise. See more Read all reviews
