Torben E @Tales_from_Elsewhere 6d As a huge Trekkie I really tried to like Discovery...but after two interesting, halfway decent seasons it became more and more unbearable. Strange New Worlds seems to be very different. Season 1 is colorful, bright, funny, revives the classic Star Trek spirit and even manages to tell creepy stories (and has a kind of "Aliens"-episode). Also, the whole format is episodic but still has an underlying, continuing thread. The cast is great. Really great. I had my concerns about the iconic character of Mr. Spock but Ethan Peck absolutely nails it. He manages to achieve the impossible: he takes the character from Leonard Nimoy, keeps his portrayal close to the original but adds new layers and ultimately creates his own version of Spock. That is..."fascinating". There's just a minor flaw here: Pike. Don't get me wrong: Anson Mount does an incredible job in portraying a very capable, likeable Enterprise captain...but he reminds me too much of (original) Kirk. That could become a problem later.

Sadly later seasons become progressively worse, but this one is worth a watch if you can ignore its issues. See more Noah H @Noah85 Jul 30 Fun show! Currently watching it with my parents, and we’re really enjoying it. I think this Star Trek series pays great homage to the original series while still feeling fresh and modern.

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 Read all reviews
