After getting access to my dad’s P+ account I finally decided to try out this nuTrek stuff. Before that, I was able to watch the first couple seasons of Discovery, a couple episodes of Lower Decks and some SNW.
I watched the final season of Disco…it was straight trash.
I watched most, if not all of SNW…it’s pretty serviceable but I found it very try-hard sometimes and can’t really balance quips and humor. It’s def the best of the bunch.
I tried watching 3 full episodes of Lower Decks back-to-back-to-back…the most it got was 1 smirk. The humor fell flat, it felt very forced and borderlined on slapstick. I knew this going in but even with an open mind I genuinely could not enjoy it.
Season 1 of Lower Decks missed the mark and tried too hard to be bog standard “Adult Animated Comedy” but it really improved in the following seasons. And not even so much because it became much funnier, but because they actually toned down the comedy a bit and pivoted into making it a decent Star Trek show on its own. Most of the comedy after that sorta centered around teasing about Star Trek tropes and poking fun at some of Old Trek’s more goofy episodes.

I think it was S2 where I started with the LD marathon.
