Star Trek: Lower Decks

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Surprisingly strong show, and as far as I know, canon. It's mostly goofy comedy with a ragtag group of ensigns with a snarky girl as unofficial leader, but it has more than a few moments of real cleverness.

Worth taking the time.

S2 just eneded. Strong episode.

This show is the closest thing we've gotten to a direct sequel to Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Riker's even in this show, with Frakes voicing him.

Rewatching with my kid. He laughs his ass off and loves the fact this show is canon.

Just finished the current season. There's some epic-ass shit in this silly cartoon. And they kill peeps. I'd watch it if I were you.

S4 just ended. Show remains strong. Rumors that it hasn't been renewed, yet.

And there was a live-action crossover episode with Strange New Worlds, and that was epic.

Fifth and final season has aired. Ended strong. This show was consistently strong, and I think they are wrong to end it. But they got to end on a "this is the end of the show" note, so that's good.

ST:TNG was producing 23, hour long episodes per season, for 7 seasons. Shows like this, these days, are doing 10 episodes of 30 minutes. So in the end we got a total of like not even two seasons of TNG. It sucks, and is lazy, and they need to be better.
