Right now you can watch Star Trek in Australia on BINGE and Paramount Plus, and in the US on Paramount Plus Premium — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. Every one of its 3 seasons holds up. Its 8/10 TMDB score, built from 1,515 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. William Shatner sets the tone, and the world-building does the rest. Available now on BINGE — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Star Trek keeps coming up in conversation. Star Trek uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. Space. The Final Frontier. The U.S.S. William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. It ran for 3 seasons (1966–1969), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What separates Star Trek from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Star Trek fits the bill. If you have already watched Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek is a natural next step. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. William Shatner grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.

Star Trek wrapped up in 1969, created by Gene Roddenberry — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
