All in all, Star Trek: Lower Decks is going out at the very top of its game. While it's devastating to see this series come to an end, it is, at the very least, satisfying to see the series coming to a close on a high note, leaving the audience wanting more.
The five episodes of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" season 5 provided to critics for review showcase a series still operating at the height of its powers. Once again, each episode is a smart, funny standalone adventure in a new cook or cranny of the "Trek" universe, with one overarching storyline loosely tying the whole thing together.
While Lower Decks still has a lot of work to deliver a satisfying climax in its final five episodes, the first half of this season successfully continues to spoof and celebrate Star Trek in equal measure.
This is pretty good. An irreverent view of youth among the Star Trek universe. It's fun and each episode is short and has a simple story and general theme. We'd rate this: "if you like SciFy then take a journey with this series."
The first two seasons were solid, which is why I give it a score of three instead of zero. What followed after that is cheap political garbage that runs through the story for the purpose of brainwashing. The script has also drastically declined, as if they completely removed the people who wrote the stories for the first two seasons and brought in others who would "adequately" tailor the narrative to "modern" DEI standards. It's awful.
