    Season 4 broaches, (and in some cases reintroduces) some of Star Trek's biggest moral quandaries, and faces them head-on with bold and unabashed honesty. Amid drunken adventures, spicy language, and horny co-workers, lessons about trusting yourself and your crew, seeing the best in each other, and embracing life to the fullest are what really make Lower Decks sing.

    "Lower Decks" lets the characters remain professionally beleaguered, while they work on the fabric and nature of their friendship. This is a long way of saying that "Lower Decks" is still great. "Lower Decks" has also remained savvy about its obscure Trek references.

    The result is a run on track to be among this show’s most hilarious and heartfelt. Star Trek: Lower Decks may not outwardly be what one would expect from the series, but much like its scrappy crew, at its core, it’s Starfleet through and through.

    Star Trek: Below Decks is back for more character-driven hijinks in its fourth season, and with a host of innovative new ways to assert itself alongside established canon and within the successful expanded Trek universe.

    A show that’s really come into its own.

    Star Trek: Lower Decks continues to unabashedly stan all things Trek while giving its own crew plenty of growth. The first eight episodes of season 4 are a mix of funny, sitcom-style stories and ambitious adventures that dig deep into Trek mythology. Overall, there are more hits than misses.
