There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Paramount Plus.

There is a reason Star Trek: Strange New Worlds keeps coming up in conversation. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Star Trek: Strange New Worlds through its more ambitious moments. Follow Captain Christopher Pike, Science Officer Spock and Number One in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy. Anson Mount and Ethan Peck lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. Across 4 seasons (2022–2025), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. What separates Star Trek: Strange New Worlds from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.
