      It absolutely is a kid’s show but once you get past the first few episodes and ESPECIALLY the second half of the season, it’s utterly Star Trek and pulls off a better season arc than any of the other modern Treks. ^Plus Janeway jokes about turning into a salamander.^

      It’s actually a decent Trek show, and had Kate Mulgrew as Janeway for bonus points. Way better Trek than Discovery and Picard, at least.

        Including Picard season 3? 1+2 and 3 are so different that I think it’s almost unfair to even lump them together.
        (On IMDb, the worst-rated episodes of S3 are about tied with the best of S1+2.)

          meh, I don’t trust IMDb ratings on trek, a certain section of angry star trek “fans” seem like they review bomb star trek shows pretty hard

      It is a kids’ show, but surprisingly deep and thoughtful for one. Characters are well realized and the plotting is tight. Plus it’s absolutely gorgeous to look at.

      I’m exposed to a lot of kids’ media by virtue of, you know, having kids, and this show is top shelf. And my young kids actually liked it and would sit down to watch it, which is something they wouldn’t do with other Trek.
