It's ok. Just don't expect it to be Star Trek.
Strange New Worlds feels like Star Trek.
It felt pretty Star Trek to me.
It's "Trek" in the same way that (hopefully this reference isn't too obscure) Stargate Universe was "Stargate." The show wasn't bad, especially post-Klingons, but it didn't feel similar to any of the other series to me. I did enjoy the new time era, but hated all the sappy 'motivational speeches' and the way they were filmed that seemed to be a cornerstone of every episode.
I couldn't watch anymore after the episode where an alien got really sad and that caused all the dilithium in the universe to explode at the same time. 🙄
😂
Yeah, that wasn't exactly the best conclusion to a story arc, but I thought the journey up to that point was pretty interesting. I wouldn't put the show anywhere near the same level as DS9 or TNG but it isn't a total write-off.
Different opinions I guess.
