Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

[Verisimilitude1984]

Paramount+ just launched in the UK and I was eagerly awaiting this show.

Is anyone else watching?

I tried watching Discovery and Picard, but just couldn't make my way though it. I was also looking forward to a return to a more optimistic Trek like in the 1960s, episodic.

So far, three episodes in and I have to say I absolutely LOVE it. Anson Mount is just so good as that typical American hero who's likeable and calm under pressure, reminds me of Kirk in some ways but making it his own part. I also like Ethan Peck as Spock, as I think he's the best casting for Spock so far but everyone is shining so far. I'm glad to see initial episodes give each character their own turn in the spotlight and for characterisation, something Discovery didn't do for me.
