Featuring a bigger and better USS Enterprise, this series is set 78 years after the original series -- in the 24th century. Instead of Capt. James Kirk, a less volatile and more mature Capt. Jean-Luc Picard heads the crew of various humans and alien creatures in their adventures in space -- the final frontier.

Whether or not "The Next Generation" went where no one went before, it was always a trip worth taking, and in tomorrow night's episode, it is a profoundly moving voyage as good as any episode in either series. Go to Full Review Zack Handlen AV Club Oct 2, 2017

9/10
Okay, there's some inadvertently amusing early CGI you have to look past, but watching these episodes now, 20 years after the show began, it's impressive to see how they hold up and how beloved a series The Next Generation rightfully remains. Go to Full Review Josh Jackson Paste Magazine Jul 19, 2018
Gene Roddenbury must not have had a cynical bone in his body, and as I watched his characters explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go where no one has gone before, I didn't either. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

leos not L @scott73 Jul 5, 2026 last but not least this has fairly strong episodes but like most years not everything works. this has some personal favs of mine but like all good things this came to an end See more Marco L @decatur555 Jan 7, 2026 Star Trek: The Next Generation isn’t just science fiction—it’s a deeply human series built on ethical questions rather than spectacle. Instead of relying on action or shock, it trusts dialogue, doubt, and moral complexity. Decisions matter here, and every choice carries consequences. Jean-Luc Picard leads through empathy and reason, not force, making the show feel quietly radical even today. Themes often labeled "modern" were already present: racism, authoritarianism, identity, and individual rights—handled with intelligence instead of slogans. Through characters like Data, the series explores dignity and humanity with rare depth. The Federation itself is imperfect, constantly questioning its own values, which keeps the show honest and relevant. TNG hasn’t aged poorly because it never chased trends. It focused on ideas that still challenge us—and still ask whether we’re willing to live up to them. See more Jerry A @RT68856893 Nov 17, 2025 Watching for the first time is an amazing live altering experience, truly one of the best show to endlessly rewatch See more R V. @areveedubs Jul 31, 2025 Jean-Luc Picard, as played by Patrick Stewart, is the moral and intellectual anchor that elevates Star Trek: The Next Generation into one of television’s best. With his commanding presence, Shakespearean gravitas, and unwavering commitment to diplomacy and principle, Picard redefined what it meant to lead—not through bravado, but through wisdom, restraint, and integrity. Stewart brought layers of complexity to the role, making Picard not just a starship captain, but a philosopher, mentor, and humanist navigating the future with timeless ethical leadership. See more David K @RT03452373 Oct 10, 2024 One of the best science fiction shows in the history of TV! My favorite heroes, my favorite series and my favorite franchise! See more George T @RT99527408 Mar 17, 2024 You can tell the cast are getting tired of this show. Some lines of dialogue come off as wooden or sleepy in moments of intensity. Still, this is top quality Star Trek. I'm so glad it ended with All Good Things, and I wonder what joyous things Picard is up to in retirement. What a truly wholesome way to send of this character. Oh wait... See more Read all reviews
