Season 1 Review: It’s even more beautiful watching two women of color, black and Asian, navigate a realm that traditionally hasn’t included them. It honors sci-fi’s history while giving it a bold new future to stake claim in, making Star Trek essential television for the first time in decades. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The show still looks great; a little too reliant on the blue-gold thing, but still, slick and thrilling, with some striking moments throughout. Read full review

Season 3 Review: The temporal shift enlivens the fabled franchise with a new sense of adventure and purpose once they learn the status of a diminished Federation. [26 Oct - 8 Nov 2020, p.13]

Season 1 Review: What viewers saw so far was exciting, fun stuff with potential for a great “Star Trek” series, but the material in the first two episodes serves as prologue. Read full review

Season 3 Review: It’s fine? I guess? ... Thankfully, “Discovery” doesn’t seem to be pulling-a-“Voyager” and jettisoning its “far from home” premise. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Discovery feels like it’s adrift between the adventure-of-the-week format of its network-TV predecessors and the kind of complex serial favored by cable and streaming. Read full review

Been an obsessed Trekkie since 1990 and The Undiscovered Country. I really enjoy this new show and particularly enjoyed season two. Anson Mount is perfect as Pike, and Sonequa Martin-Green consistently brings a level of raw emotion that has rarely been seen on Star Trek.

The only good part of Discovery is Lorca, Pike, Saru, Reno, book, Staments, Admiral Vance, Section 31 and the less annoying crew when not crying and hugging. But the real stars of the series is the top tier CGI, set design, costumes props and those cinematography wide shots.

But the real stars of the series is the top tier CGI, set design, costumes props and those cinematography wide shots. The creative art dept is really saving this mess, not the writing. Go watch The Expanse, The Orville and Star Trek: Strange New World much more enjoyable and less headaches than watching STD.… Expand

This is sad...very sad...they destroyed Star Trek. Season four gets worse with every episode. It's only about their feelings and how sad they all are all the time. That's not what startrek is about.
Now even the maincomputer on the ship develops "feelings". The characters are bad written andThis is sad...very sad...they destroyed Star Trek. Season four gets worse with every episode. It's only about their feelings and how sad they all are all the time. That's not what startrek is about.
Now even the maincomputer on the ship develops "feelings". The characters are bad written and so are the episodes. If something is exploding in 30 seconds, you don't talk about how afraid you are with your teammate 20 seconds, you just do what needs to be done.

This is the worst BS I've ever seen that uses the name "Star Trek".

In my opinion they said: "we need gay characters, females, non-binaries and all the other possibilities". Let's write a story around them what it means to be LBQTSGHFD!
They made the characters and stories exactly like that, to shove into our faces how important it is to be that way.

IT IS ***** SECONDARY WHAT THEY HAVE IN BED OR WHAT SEX THEY ARE!… Expand

Dumbed-down version of a formerly great franchise. Plots and character motivations make no sense. Continuity is nonexistent. So much money wasted on such bad storytelling.

I had high hopes for Discovery but even though I really tried to like it I eventually had to admit to myself that this is not Star Trek. This is a political statement. Where it lacks in writing and a good story it more than enough makes up with PC culture. It’s not often they allow a white male on the cast, and when they do you can be sure that he is the bad guy.
The writing is forced and dull, often dumbed down and overly dramatic. Often we can see an entire room of characters just crying while violins are going crazy in the background for no apparent reason. It’s an emotional, sentimental jibberish which doesn’t come close to the previous series.… Expand
