This is not your father's Star Trek: The Next Generation. Neither is it your grandfather's Star Trek the Original Series. Patrick Stewart plays a 79-year-old retired admiral quite well. The shining star of this show is his dog, Number One, who can understand 2 languages. As for the story... Meh. There isn't any character who I care to get involved with or want to see more of. The show is void of humor and trudges over a plot that seems strained at best. I'm glad I got to watch the few episodes released at a friend's house because like Star Trek Discovery, this does not make me want to subscribe to the service.
