It's a hard show to watch if you've worked in the video games industry. I just couldn't find the funny in characters that are largely stereotypes and scripts that feel phoned in. I can imagine some saying "ah-ha! They struck a nerve," but alas, it isn't true. I get that in order to make something palatable to Joe Q. Public, there's a need for simplification, and I approve of that. No, I'm afraid this show is just shallow and soporific.

This is a fun show, a welcome departure from 50+ years of reheated Trek. It's witty, well-written, and funny as heck. If you're an old school fan, you may get offended that your precious Trek is painting outside the lines, but if you're looking for something fresh, this is it.
