Star Trek: Lower Decks (2020–2024)
6/10
Good and Bad ...
18 December 2020
It's great to have a sci-fi cartoon that is connected to the Star Trek universe. The colorful visuals are nice, the locations are constantly changing and the action is non-stop. There's a lot to like about the series.

On the other hand, the main characters tend to be abrasive or pathologically flawed in some way. This often shows up as entitlement or bullying. A lot of them seem to need more psychiatric help than space missions.

Overall I like the show but rarely find myself laughing. While it's more cruel than uplifting, I do still enjoy the frequent references to TNG, Voyager and the original Star Trek.

Given the lack of choices for new Star Trek material - I'll certain take what I can get. So I'll continue to watch it. However, give me a better Star Trek comedy or animated show and I'd be happy to switch.
