4/5
The first three seasons delivered character-driven stories with kaleidoscopic circumstances that felt like the best of "Trek." Season 4 continues to balance the silly and the serious to great effect. Go to Full Review

Never without spirit and repeatedly inspired, the new episodes continue to push the boundaries of what audiences expect from a “Star Trek” series, while honoring the franchise’s past through its reimagined characters and world-of-the-week framework. Go to Full Review

Season 4 continues mightily, in a crop of episodes as exhilarating as they are frustrating. Go to Full Review
Monita Roy Mohan Stereo Geeks (Podcast) Jul 25
This season is a fantastic encapsulation of the franchise. It’s a fun, innovative exploration of the human condition. It takes its name very seriously — you don’t know what strange is till you watch this season, apparently. Go to Full Review

Season 4 of Strange New Worlds embodies the best and the worst parts of the series. It can be funny, scary, and moving as it explores topics that have long been core to Star Trek like identity, duty, and ethics. Go to Full Review
Johnny Loftus Decider Jul 24
Make it so! Season 4 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds brings its well-established character development to bear on a new round of intergalactic missions, Starfleet protocols, and the stardust of light humor. Go to Full Review

Daniel T @MadHatter73 2h Every episode has been great! Those who are critical are either not true Star Trek fans or simply dislike anything that's not the old versions. See more Andre K @AndreKnoxArt 2h Sci-Fi /Horror,and Comedy without Sex,and Nudity never works. See more Evan D @RT58434647 15h Brilliant! Strange new worlds it’s so much fun. I can’t wait for the next episode. I really enjoyed the Spock and Kirk relationship in the recent episode. I feel like strange new worlds is bringing Star Trek up-to-date with contemporary culture 2020s. It’s taking creative risks and from my perspective they’re paying off. We absolutely love it. See more Dave D @Evadzus 1d Once again, the writers can't come up with anything original. Last week it was "Event Horizon." This time it's "The Hangover" and with a Star Trek skin on it. The jokes fail to land. A totally insane premise. Once again Kirk is present -- does he EVER spend time on his own ship?!?! It's obvious the show runners have no respect for what we used to know as Star Trek. Like so many others, I desperately held out hope that ST:SNW would have some semblance to better times, but alas, it's run by dim wits. Oh, and we still have "the puppet" episode to look forward to. I can't wait for this to be over. See more Rich T @RT86479780 1d If you were hoping for some redemption after Starfleet Academy fiasco, you're going to be sorely disappointed. I was swooned in by episode 1, but 2 & 3 feels like I now know where the writers from "Starfleet Academy" went after their demise on that crapshoot. Such a shame... See more Rodney E @BeachCrazy 1d Episode one was a classic kind of Star Trek story. Episodes two and three are the opposite as they lead with the thing that’s anti-Star Trek…feelings. In the military, as with real Star Trek, feelings can’t be the whole show in this fashion. Rodenberry was a real combat vet there is no way he would’ve written episodes two and three or allow them to be made in in this manner. They threw away his playbook. I bailed episode 3 after 5 to 10 minutes See more Read all reviews
