M'star trek peeps, is the show worth watching? I've never seen it, and I've heard mixed reviews.

    100% worth it. With the caveat that the effects aren't good. The story and characters more than make up for it though.

    In the past year it was released in 4K. As others have said, the effects are not great, but growing up in that era, it felt a little nostalgic.

    I was pretty hooked on it for a while. I got kinda burned out on the last season. It’s not that it wasn’t good, I just binged it too hard.

    It's widely considered the most contiguous SciFi series out there. The director started with 5 years of scripts and changed very little during production, other than losing the main character between seasons 2 and 3, due to medical complications. I personally consider Bab 5 to be as good, if not better than both Firefly and Farscape.

    Between one and two. Even crazier, though - he knew actors sometimes left shows so he wrote in a “trapdoor” and replacement character so that he could sub out someone with a new character without losing a step.

    Yeah it’s kind of like the spiritual successor to 90s trek with family guy humor sprinkled in. I did not watch season 3 yet, but I heard it was great!!
