Featured reviews
I really tried hard to like this, after reading so many positive reviews here I expected it to be like the original series or the next generation.
This series isn't star trek. What the writers failed to realise is that what made the original star trek series and the next generation so good, and so successful is that each episode (and movie) focused mainly on the storyline, it was about space exploration, technology, tacticle battles, interesting stories. Any kind of relationship drama and character back story was kept to a minimum and only added briefly when it was important to the story.
This series is 90% relationship drama. It's like watching Neighbours set on a spaceship. Far too much of it is just boring inane dialogue that isn't pertinent to the storyline, or character backstory that just isn't interesting and makes you lose interest.
Perhaps that is for some people since this series does have many good reviews, but if you're like me and find relationship soap drama boring then you probably won't enjoy this either.

I've only seen the first episode, but I can say with certainty, this is the first time I've been optimistic about nu Trek.
It is actually optimistic. It seems episodic. It seems like Trek. Characters are also likeable, relatable.

Like "Picard" and "Discovery" Strange New Worlds has lost the original bright, hopeful future that made Star Trek so refreshing. Instead of showing as a world where justice and equality finally win we are give a glimpse of a future plagued with all the same petty, short-sighted leaders we have today! If the new Star Trek vision is to be believed then we as a people will learn nothing in the next 300 years about working together and getting along. That is just depressing. Especially considering the great strides of the last 100 years.
What happened to Roddenberry's vision? Something we can dream of and aspire to!

I have to admit that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was so much better than I expected. This is the prequel to the original Star Trek and even has some familiar characters like Spock and Uhura. It's led by Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and has basically the same plot as the original in where they explore the galaxy. This is actually one of the most well received Star Trek shows ever by both the critics and fans, it currently has a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. It has a new fresh feel while also honoring the original. This is a show that both new fans and longtime fans can both enjoy. This hooked me from the very first episode and didn't let go. I binged the entire first season over a weekend and I'm already looking forward for next season.
TOS morality tales and TNG science, updated for 2022 with an ensemble cast and one full story per episode.
I can even forgive the fact that the 2022 Enterprise looks two centuries ahead of the 1966 Enterprise, because they got the details right and we do have good cgi and sets these days.
A dream come true, this incarnation of Trek. Having watched the first three episodes, Thank you production team and writers!

- TriviaBruce Horak, the actor who plays Hemmer, is legally blind, just like his character's species, the Aenar, who are also blind.
- GoofsThere are some rank insignia mistakes. Number One is introduced as "Lieutenant Commander Una Chin-Riley" yet she is wearing the rank insignia of a full commander: two full stripes. A Lieutenant Commander's rank insignia is a full stripe under a thin stripe (in TOS it is a full stripe and a staggered stripe). It is not uncommon for a ship's first officer to be a Lt. Commander if they have not been in the position long.
Spock at this point is a Lieutenant but he is wearing Lieutenant Commander's stripes; a Lieutenant just has one stripe. La'an is the ship's chief of security and the ship's second officer. She is also wearing Lt. Commander stripes but is addressed as a Lieutenant, but it would make more sense for her to be a Lieutenant Commander. Either way both of their rank insignia are not matching the rank they are addressed by.
Ortegas is addressed as a Lieutenant but is wearing Lieutenant Commander's strips. A Lieutenant Commander may be addressed as a Commander or Lieutenant Commander but never as just a Lieutenant, so either her rank insignia or the manner she is addressed by the rest of the crew is in error.
