Screen Rant

Star Trek: Lower Decks is an animated comedy series set in the TNG era. 1 / 8

But fans have been sour on Lower Decks so far. 2 / 8

This is partly because it flies in the face of Star Trek tradition. 3 / 8

And because the usual tropes and chain of command are ignored. 4 / 8

This is all by design, of course, to fit Lower Decks' tone and premise. 5 / 8

Every Star Trek series since the original has endured criticism. 6 / 8

And not only does Lower Decks deserve more time... 7 / 8

But comparing it to past shows seems futile, given the stark difference in approach. 8 / 8
