What the audience says

Star Trek: Discovery holds up as a perfectly decent English series, if not a remarkable one. It's sitting at 6.9/10 on TMDB across 2,107 ratings, which puts it around the middle of the pack.

Is it worth starting?

This is 5 seasons deep — English sci-fi & fantasy, leaning action & adventure. There's a lot of it, which is either the appeal or the problem depending on your week.

Why
6.9/10 from 2,107 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
Skip if
you don't want to start something several seasons deep
Best for
A long run rather than a single sitting

Story

Follow the voyages of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new life forms, and one Starfleet officer who must learn that to truly understand all things alien, you must first understand yourself.
