Season 2 Review:
All of the classic “Trek” series that came before took until their third season to truly “get good.” So did “Picard.” Let’s then celebrate this show that set out to reach the stars and somehow got there faster than even the legendary series that paved the way for it.

Season 2 Review:
If fans are looking for somewhere to dive into Star Trek without having to watch endless seasons or movies, then Strange New Worlds is the perfect jump-off point, offering a gateway to the wider Star Trek universe - with the second season more than matching the high bar set by the exemplary first season.

Season 3 Review:
All things considered, Strange New Worlds continues to do an excellent job at adapting Star Trek to this era of television, maintaining the series’ episodic structure and unvarnished optimism while introducing modern production value and overarching character narratives that tie the season together.

Season 3 Review:
“Strange New Worlds” remains committed to stretching its legs and exploring wilder tones than the franchise often allows itself. .... What’s remarkable about these whiplashing tones is that showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers, and their own crew of writers, manage to navigate that asteroid field with particular aplomb, letting each episode have its own feel without making it feel like it’s a different show each time.

Season 1 Review:
What “Strange New Worlds” brings back is some of the Buck Rogers brio of the original series. ... There is enough of William Shatner’s puckishness in Mount that one may easily forget that this is the Pike and Spock Show, and not the Kirk and Spock Show. ... It is in the “Star Trek” way of things to get a little cornball, a little goofball, a little silly. This is more feature than bug. Earnestness has the edge over sense; science, if you want to call it that — it often amounts to magic here — just serves the drama, the philosophy and the themes.

Season 1 Review:
The show looks great, moves quickly, and does everything it can to keep the audience entertained. At times, its excess of charms can border on cloying, and some of the attempts at moral lessons are distractingly ham-fisted, but everything passes by so smoothly it’s hard to hold a grudge. The going may not be as bold as it once was, but it’s fun and rarely insulting, and most of the time, that’s enough.

Season 1 Review:
While existing within that canon, “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” leverages audience familiarity in a manner that’s welcoming rather than suffocating. As the title implies, this is a loving throwback to the spirit of exploration and derring-do so intrinsic to the brand over the past six decades (right down to Mount reciting a version of the “Space, the final frontier” narration that both Shatner and Stewart had a go at in previous incarnations), while pointing toward a future full of possibilities.

Season 1 Review:
[Star Trek: Strange New Worlds] gets back to basics, closely hewing to classic Trek with an old-school vibe and an episodic alien-of-the-week format. (It even brings back the traditional uniforms and opening narration from the original series.) It’s a throwback, to be sure… and a welcome one.

Season 1 Review:
There are installments that hit and others that are completely forgettable. But the series has successfully and quickly established a small ensemble that’s easy to care about and a hopeful ethos that harkens back to the original Star Trek series and the more procedural aspects of various popular spinoffs. It’s an amiable and entertaining throwback by intent and in execution.

Season 3 Review:
For “Trek” aficionados, hewing to canon is important and necessary, but the episode’s A story is something “Trek” fans have seen too many times before. Episodes three and five are episodic away team missions, a welcome return to the show’s roots. .... The best story so far is found in episode four, an offbeat outing directed by Jonathan Frakes.

Season 3 Review:
What Strange New Worlds continues to offer is less a new type of Star Trek and more a kind of Star Trek smoothie. It’s got all the most pleasing parts of whatever’s been thrown in there, and boy is it sweet. But it may also leave you with the sneaking suspicion that it’d be better for you to just eat the banana it was made from.
