Do these Ensigns need some shore leave in the first season of the Star Trek: Lower Decks TV show on CBS All Access? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Star Trek: Lower Decks is cancelled or renewed for season two. CBS All Access and other streaming platforms, however, collect their own data. If you’ve been watching this TV series, we’d love to know how you feel about the first season episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks here.
A CBS All Access sci-fi comedy series, Star Trek: Lower Decks is the latest TV show in the franchise based on the original Star Trek series created by Gene Roddenberry. The series stars the voices of Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, Noël Wells, Eugene Cordero, Dawnn Lewis, Jerry O’Connell, Fred Tatasciore, and Gillian Vigman. The show focuses on the support crew that serves on one of Starfleet’s least important ships, the U.S.S. Cerritos, in the year 2380. Ensigns include irreverent Beckett Mariner (Newsome), rule-following Brad Boimler (Quaid), medical assistant D’Vana Tendi (Wells), and Sam Rutherford (Cordero), who’s adjusting to a cyborg implant. They have to keep up with their duties and their social lives, often while the ship is being rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies. The bridge crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos includes Captain Carol Freeman (Lewis), First officer Jack Ransom (O’Connell), Bajoran Lieutenant Shaxs (Tatasciore), and Doctor T’Ana (Vigman).

Awful show. It continues the trope of belittling Star Trek, then pretends to honor it. If you never liked Roddenberry’s vision of a better future, you will love this show.
I have just discovered this show and fell in love with the animation style, the humor and the battle scenes.
