Don't let the Trekkies put you off. It's a fun show, with good visuals and it's interesting to see what the old cast look like now.
Don't expect sheakspearian dialogue and just let yourself switch off for 40 odd mins.
Not sure why it gets such bad reviews, it's a bit like the new Lord of the Rings TV show. Brilliant TV but lower than average reviews. Again, attributed to diehard fans who probably had to gouge their eyes out whilst wearing their costumes.
Anyway, as a non die hard trekkie and sci fi enthusiast, I am enjoying it, especially season 3 and rate this at a solid 8.
I do feel sorry for the die hard fans, they will never be able to enjoy a new Star trek show on TV, because nothing is ever going to be good enough for them, while at the same time appealing to the greatest audience, which is where the money comes from sadly.
