Star Trek has been expanding rapidly since launching CBS All Access, showing that CBS believes Trek is key to much of their subscriber base. Along comes Lower Decks an animated show from one of the creators of Rick and Morty. It won’t be for everyone and I can see some older Trek fans just shunning it completely but I enjoyed it for a fun half hour romp during the Next Generation era of Star Trek.

It’s silly, crude and a little bit not Trek, but then it deals with things on a Starship and contact with other species and adds some levity to it. It is Star Trek in one major way, its boldy attempting to go, where no Trek show has before. The first season consists of 10 episodes starting tonight and for the next ten Thursdays on CBS ALL Access. Enjoy.
