Honestly, the sets and costumes for SNW are setting the bar for TV shows in general, let alone star trek. Just as much as the new plots, I've been looking forward each week just to the visuals.

Yes, this. It’s setting a new bar. Fantastic design, well executed.

SNW seems to have hit a gestalt of not just production and costume design but also lighting and cinematography. Like TOS and early colour television, it’s making the most of the new UHD technology. Everything has come together and is reinforcing the impact.

Discovery was reaching for this in the 32nd century design, and even with the Enterprise bridge as originally built for Discovery season two. The principal ship sets from the first season were an ongoing constraint though. Costume designer a gersha Phillips found her initial attempts to put the Discovery crew into 32nd century uniforms did not stand out against the ship’s dark bridge.

It will be interesting to see if they can achieve something similar in the 32nd century with the new Starfleet Academy show.

The crew quarters with those slanted columns look really sleek.
