Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Coming out of the gate with what might be the strongest debut season of Star Trek ever—rivalling Lower Decks’ own fantastic start—Star Trek’s return to the U.S.S. Enterprise and a more episodic, retro-influenced storytelling format has made for a hell of a time. Riffs on classic Trek premises and simple, yet insightful character work has made Strange New Worlds feel like a breath of fresh air for the ever-expanding scope of current Star Trek, with a back-to-basics approach that’s given us some delightfully earnest sci-fi adventures. – James Whitbrook
