Star Trek: Discovery (2017–2024)

Star Trek, the " Techno-Goth " Version. And it's fantastic

[9/10 · 25 September 2017]

Judging from the first episodes: I expected much worse, and i was blown away. And I understand that many Trek fans will not be able to overcome the design changes. This series is Darker, the Klingons resemble the Prometheus Engineers, the narrative does not appear to be mainly episodic; and many principles of the federation will fall ethically into shades of gray. However, if we take our expectations and preconceived notions out of the equation, and accept this series for what it is. Arguably, it is the most impressive Space Opera series of the last few years. Visually surpassing series as The Expanse or Stargate Universe. Narratively, the War premise works flawlessly as a grand opening, and will serve as a solid foundation for the rest of the series. The characters are convincing, the strong personality of the protagonist is not forced. And the chemistry between peers is pleasant. I really enjoyed this bold new approach to this franchise. If I preferred to see something more familiar, like a sequel within the TNG era? Yes, no doubt. But despite of this, this version is a high quality production on so many levels. And I'll wait religiously for the next episodes.
