Good one. Funny, and the cast is outstanding. I'd probably watch it again next Halloween.

And they win the day. The bullied-at-school cop, the single mom, the outsider kid. They are not perfect, short of cartoons themselves, yet they have every right to stand up against the morally challenged criminals. Or it's just funny to watch them try and somehow succeed. It's a feel good movie, a cross between a kick-in-the-crotch joke and a realistic action hero situation.

As a massive TNG fan, I couldn't be happier. Yes, it's not TNG. Yes, it deserves a nine. And, unlike The Mandalorian, it didn't have a single Stargate-like episode.

Season 1 offers a fresh approach and the nostalgia inducing moments are carefully divided between humorous and dead serious. It has a great pacing - never too slow, never too rushed over - it's just right. The overall idea is fair to middling, but the storytelling never fails. Do you prefer your scientifiction shows campy and yet riveting? Look again - they've got a Jedi Elf in the crew. Are you a person with strong taste for good acting and special effects verging on perfect? I'll let you have your moment alone.

I seriously doubt it that the second season could possibly get worse. It's a Sir Patrick Stewart thing, after all. And I definitely think there's a lesson learned with this show, for both Star Trek creators and Star Trek fans.
