This show is so freaking Star Trek that it out-Star Treks the Star Trek.
Totally agree, it’s definitely more Star Trek than any of the new Star Trek series.
Lower Decks is amazing. It’s up there with Futurama. It’s just damn good, even if you’re not a trek fan.
People keep saying this, so as someone who has only watched half of the first season, when does it get to this point?
I mean it’s amusing enough, but it’s just a pastiche of cliches and obvious gags. People keep saying that it distills Trek down to its essence or something like that, but to me it seems like “watered down” would be more accurate.
After the first season it begins to feel a bit less campy and the crude humor is toned down a bit and even more so I feel by the third season. The overall plot starts to show itself in season 2 and just gets better from there.
