Lower Decks is my favorite.
I had low expectations when it was first announced, but now it’s the only series I actually look forward to
When I knew it was Mike McMahan who ran the TNG S8 Twitter account, I had total faith. He's a true fan, he wrote the show with reverence for the material despite it being jocular in tone, which is impressive and what made me fall in love with the show.
@easydnesto @canis_majoris Mike is a superb brilliantly innovative interpreter of Star Trek ... Lower Decks is a beautiful and rich addition to the Star Trek canon.
It looked like some Rick and Morty inspired cash grab from Paramount+ to fill out their streaming line up, so it was immediately passed over by me and some friends. When it got a 3rd season I realized it was probably going to last and started watching it when I can.
I wanted to get Paramount+ for it but their other Trek stuff is hot garbage for this TNG fan and it feels like paying for just one show would encourage them to continue fucking up Trek like they have. At least I have good friends who don't mind subsidizing Rick Berman's flavor of boomer space action.
The ONLY reason we have Paramount+ is because my wife wanted to watch some soaps on it (IDK even which ones, I couldn't be less interested). But I WAS like "Now I can watch Lower Decks! Sweet."
