    I think it was largely a miss with the humor for me. It seemed like it was mostly just referential humor, just kind of “hey I watched star trek” but without substance. I dont love the animation style either, but that’s not been an issue for me in the past so long as the writing was entertaining enough

      It struggled with that the first half season, but it found its own voice over time.

      The fact that it’s found and retained its own dedicated fanbase who have no prior experience of Trek is evidence enough that it stands on its own.

        Every single Star Trek series from TNG onward struggled in the beginning and took a season or two to really find itself. It’s basically the shape of TV Trek.

          Agree totally. Which is why I have a certain exasperation for those who gave Lower Decks and Prodigy a couple of episodes and then decided it’s not for them.
