      While this entertaining documentary talks about the difficulties between Roddenberry and the network, it leaves out the drinking, drugs and womanizing that made working with the series' creator so difficult.

    A Star Trek recap for people who hate Star Trek
    Seriously, what even is this. I struggled to make it through all 10 episodes (subscribing to History Vault just for this series). What I was presented was 10+ hours of actors, writers and "experts" whining and moaning about everything they DIDN'T like. Everyone sounds bitter & ungrateful to the franchise that made them famous. From the insufferable, sanctimonious Wil Wheaton to the extremely bitter Nana Visitor who would be a complete nobody if not for DS9. This program was clearly made for the Twitter mobs who seek to find fault and offense in everything. I wouldn't be surprised if this was fully sanctioned by CBS as a way to crap on classic Trek so they can push their new agenda driven tripe, like Discovery.

    Besides all that, the editing is a disaster, frequently & abruptly shifting from subject to subject. This series is a disaster.
