3.5/5
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds heralds a return to Gene Roddenberry's original vision. We see iconic characters in their youth learning from a troubled but admirable man. A well-written script, good performances, and crisp pacing had me hooked. Go to Full Review

4/5
And, as someone who was never super into The Original Series, I’m intrigued to see how these characters (and those we have yet to really meet) develop into the ones from that landmark television show. Either way, this should be a heck of a ride. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
With Strange New Worlds, at least based on this first episode and a general impression of what is to come, we get a series that is episodic and Star Trek in its purest form. Go to Full Review
