Classic. It's one of the backbone of Science fiction on tv, still enjoyable and fun to watch this days.

A great beginning it may be a product of its time but thinking so far in the future it's hard to believe

Star Trek, the original series and how the Star Trek universe began. It is a phenomenal show that hits the ground running with solid writing and actors like William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley who all own their characters.Star Trek, the original series and how the Star Trek universe began.

Before watching the first episode, you would do yourself a favour to watch the classic science fiction movie Forbidden Planet beforehand.
It works like an introduction and companion piece to the original show.

A lot of people mistakingly think Star Trek is some sort of preachy Leftist propaganda but the truth is, Star Trek is about the adventure and horror of space exploration in an entertaining way first and foremost. Enjoy!… Expand

The 'Star Trek' franchise started with this show, a show that was undoubtedly awe-inspiring and ahead of its time back then. It still holds up now, even with its flaws.

Sure, the special effects are often laughable and the sets are less than audacious. Some of Season 3 disappoints with even cheaper production values, less suspense, very contrived plotting that lacked logic and more cheesiness. William Shatner was never known for subtlety (apart from a few exceptions like 1958's 'The Brothers Karamazov'), but he does overact to an annoying degree and it can over-balance the rest of the show.

However, the rest of the characterisations and acting are fine. Spock is the most interesting and most well-developed character and Leonard Nimoy is unforgettable as the character. DeForest Kelley and James Doohan are lots of fun and Walter Koenig is similarly memorable, same with George Takei.

Music is full of energy and atmosphere. Even better is the writing, which is funny, intelligent and rich in humanity and the imaginative and influential story-lines that were full of suspense, intrigue and influential fun. The characters are interesting and their interaction is one of the high points of the show.

In conclusion, hugely impressive and ground-breaking them, even though the flaws are more noticeable today. 9/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

Un 9.3 es demasiado, que la nostalgia no le nuble la visión a nadie, esta serie es aburrida y paupérrima.

Watched the remastered version all three seasons. Space is full of overpowering aliens/tech, lethal diseases, deadly spacial anomalies and KYS prime directive restrictions. From what I got from this show was space is really very dangerous.Watched the remastered version all three seasons. Space is full of overpowering aliens/tech, lethal diseases, deadly spacial anomalies and KYS prime directive restrictions. From what I got from this show was space is really very dangerous. Each episode usually ends with a smile, a quip or banter. Maybe that is to leave the audience on a high note, but looking at it rationally from the position of the crew? It could also be seen how these people get through facing constant death and living on the edge on a daily basis? TOS has other fun layers beneath the obvious fun surface level action and romance stuff. TOS touches on so many different ideas, concepts and themes. They are all to long to list and probably spoilers of what is to come in the show anyway.… Expand
