I thought it was the best comedic Star Trek until Lower Decks dropped. It's still the best modern Trek show as a regular Trek show, albeit a lot more goofy than it needs to be since it's made as a comedy first. I watch it because it's actually about as good in the drama and set design as TNG was, but the humor, being driven by McFarlane, is just not my thing anymore. He's just got too much shit that's all over the place and I'm tired of it, not that it's bad in and of itself.
I feel like the humor has taken a massive backseat since like near the end of season 1. It definitely was a parady at first with some hit or miss jokes but the humor feels a lot more natural in recent seasons. Imo
I don't even consider it a comedy. Imo
I hope they end up making more seasons eventually.
This is Seth's true passion project. I feel like he would make more seasons if given the chance, but with Disney looking at cuts, I fear for it.
Lower decks is a real hidden gem.
Is it that hidden, it's got a fourth series coming on soon. If anything Prodigy is ths hidden gem now.
I agree with the speed of the jokes.. they do slow it down after the first few episodes, but it's still fast as hell sometimes.
