So here we are with another series of Star Trek with lots of cheesy lines and bad acting.... No wonder my partner does not want to watch it!
...but wait I am 3 episodes in and the usual bad acting and, cheap jokes have yet to make an appearance.
The new ''ST:D'' <(yea someone was having a laugh there weren't they?)> appears on our screen as a mature watch, credible actors, engaging storyline and great special effects/cgi.
It reminds me of what batman begins attempted to do with that series, and take it down a darker path and aim for a more mature audience.
Every episode so far feels like it belongs in the cinema and that is highly commendable. I have been watching the other new TV series Orville - it has a star trek feel but is certainly aimed at the comedy market so watching the two in a week is awesome as you get the whole sci fi feeling....
I know the trekkie purists will be angry at another retread at a prequel... and I am no hardcore trekkie. But change is good... It follows on from the recent films the first of which attempted to change the trekkie world meaning anything from that point can change!
ST:D (haha) is for me the best thing to happen in recent years, so other than a trip to the doctors I am awarding it a 10/10!!
