Don't let the Trekkies put you off. It's a fun show, with good visuals and it's interesting to see what the old cast look like now.

Don't expect sheakspearian dialogue and just let yourself switch off for 40 odd mins.

Not sure why it gets such bad reviews, it's a bit like the new Lord of the Rings TV show. Brilliant TV but lower than average reviews. Again, attributed to diehard fans who probably had to gouge their eyes out whilst wearing their costumes.

Anyway, as a non die hard trekkie and sci fi enthusiast, I am enjoying it, especially season 3 and rate this at a solid 8.

I do feel sorry for the die hard fans, they will never be able to enjoy a new Star trek show on TV, because nothing is ever going to be good enough for them, while at the same time appealing to the greatest audience, which is where the money comes from sadly.

This has to be one of the best TV shows I have watched in years. Really impressed with the acting, storyline and suspense. Reminds me a bit of the feeling I got watching 'Lost' all those years ago. Cannot wait for season 2!

I love science fiction. I've not read any Asimov, and I've no inclination to. From the reviews I've read, it's mainly Asimov fans who can't deal with the show. Has anyone ever said, "The film was much better than the book!"? No. Face it, if you love the book that much, why watch the TV show? The key words here are ADAPTATION, BASED ON.

So from someone who has never read the books I found it very good to watch. Loved the style, the premise and the characters. After one episode I'm very much looking forward to investing my time in this show. Well done.
