I grew up watching Star Trek. Watched all including Enterprise and watched early seasons of Discovery and Picard. Was getting a bit disappointed with the franchise becoming just ordinary Sci fi series.
Star Trek is not a Sci Fi TV series. There is deeper philosophy in each episode and each character. Especially TNG is truly a masterpiece in any genre. Gene Roddenberry was a great philosopher and an outstanding teacher, story teller.
It is heartening to see same depth in Strange New Worlds. I hope it continues to shine and can't wait to see many many seasons ahead.
Big thanks to the creators of this series and kudos to the actors for excellent performances.
