Critics Consensus

Still a bright beacon in the Star Trek universe, Strange New Worlds' third season makes up for its lack of narrative ambition with gleaming execution.

4/5

It has everything the discerning Trekkie could want. Epic interstellar battles, dodgy yellow knitwear and alien races with pointy plastic ears that look like they might go warp factor nine near an open flame.

A show that continues to uphold the ideals of its franchise’s point of origin, even as its swings boldly go nowhere all that deep.

B-

All that’s left is the fun. Hey, who are we to complain when it’s a show this fun? But “Star Trek” always has had the capacity to be more, and so has this show.

10 episodes for a couple of "decent" episodes and one "good" episode... this season hurt.

How does one pass judgment on effective fan service, when the fan is me, and I feel served...yet I can't help feeling it's at the expense of what the TV show at hand ought to be doing?

It’s got the balance of episodic storytelling and a continuing narrative. But the gimmicky episodes aren’t the only highlights. They’ve given us such lovely characters, played by these compelling actors who just capture the screen.

The special effects are fine…the writing, however, is abysmal. Should have spent more money on the scripts …special effects without a decent script is a waste. Get rid of the hacks writing the teleplays and hire some sci fi writers like the original ST did.

Strange New World season 3 felt like the show made a wrong turn. The episodes with Captain Patel storyline was well done. What I would like to see in season 4 episode 1 would be if Spock wakes up to find season 3 was all a dream. (Bobby Ewing in Dallas)

This is exactly what Star Trek is originally about. Interpersonal relationships, character development, exploring ethics, and morals all well exploring space in a very philosophical manner.

This is one of the worst season of this show.

Akiva Goldsman has a problem with Star Trek. He treats it the way non-fans did back in the 70's, 80's & 90's... Non Trek-fans believe what they hear about Star Trek over what they know about it because they never really watched it in the first place. SNW feels like a fan-made series made by people who aren't fans. Instead, they modernize the quasi-military structure of this TOS prequel to make the millennials & Gen-Z'ers feel smarter. Except this show isn't smart. It suffers from what all modern Trek suffers from: a lack of something to say as well as a condescending POV towards the audience. Some people like SNW but I stopped watching it because it's a timid show that copies aspects of past Trek while making a fool of Pike & Spock (to justify the really weak female characters on the show.) For such a feminist pointed show, they sure don't allow the women to actually move, grow or fail. It's all easter eggs and stupid dialog. I can't watch this any more. I'm done.
