    I moaned a few weeks ago that I’d kicked off a trial for Paramount+ so that I could watch Star Trek Discovery during food and snack breaks while WFH, but bounced off it. In the end, I sort of got into it and now I’m about halfway through the final episode, which I’m saving for this mornings coffee break. Would I recommend it? Hmm… I mean probably not. Unless you’re a bit of a Star Trek nerd like me. Of course, I wasn’t able to binge it during the trial. That’s how they get you! Make mediocre shows that you can’t quite watch in a week.

      I hear that got a lot better after S1, but much like with Picard S1 was so completely terrible that I can’t quite face putting myself through any more of it.

      Am I judging too harshly?

        Probably not, to be honest. I’m not sure if Discovery got any better. It just got… More…

        I gave up on Picard halfway through S1. But then I watched S3 and really enjoyed it, so I went back to S1 and S2. Honestly, both were a bit “meh”.

          Oh well, at least we’ve got Strange New Worlds! I’ve also been informed by at least three different people from the Trekkie instance so far that I need to watch The Orville, so that’s on the list.

            Indeed you do, a lot of fans equate The Orville to original Star Trek but with a slight tongue in cheek, much like Galaxy Quest

      Not a massive Trek fan but enjoyed Voyager. I really couldn’t get in to Discover. Season 1 was ok but it all felt a bit too cheesy or predictable.

      Star Trek New World on the other hand has been great. I think that’s also on Paramount+
