I was a child when the first series aired on tv many decades ago. I'm also a big Star Trek fan TOS. It took me a while to watch this new series and I've got to say, it's the best show on netflix right now. Absolutely love, love the cast, story line, everything. I've tried not to get emotionally involved with the characters but can't help myself. I love this family so much I've actually cried at those tender moments. So many plots and twists it makes your head spin. This is one of the best series I've watched in 20 years!!! Thank you.
