Though it is not Star Trek, it certainly has the Trek feel. Thoughtful subjects, if a little irreverent, hearken back to the original series. The show doesn't take itself too serious and it doesn't flinch away from truly uncomfortable issues. I often find myself uncomfortable when confronted with the shows subject matter, but that is the true mission of Sci-Fi, to confront us, and be a mirror, a social commentary. I like it.
