Who Is It For?

Star Trek fans who miss the optimistic, episodic, 'problem of the week' format of TNG. Comedy lovers who want their laughs with substance. Anyone burned out on grimdark sci-fi who wants a show that believes humanity's future is bright. If you've ever complained that modern Trek lost its soul, this is your show.

What People Are Saying

Visually this is more a love letter to Star Trek than the new films felt.

Feels like Star Trek if Star Trek was an actual work place rather than some idealized eutopia.

I kept hearing that it was going to be garbage, but I quite enjoyed it. Also why does everyone seem to dislike Seth MacFarlane so much?

I loved the part where John asked if he can drink soda on the ship because his old captain let him. It seemed like something that would legit be asked if this was real life.
