August Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss8 of 25
"Star Trek: Lower Decks" | Season 2 Premieres on Paramount Plus on Thursday, Aug. 12
Plot: The support crew serving on one of Starfleet's least important ships, the U.S.S. Cerritos, have to keep up with their duties, often while the ship is being rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies.
Our Take: Despite being the franchise’s first animated comedy, "Lower Decks" somehow managed to be the biggest genuine throwback to the "Next Generation" era of "Star Trek" since the franchise made its streaming debut with "Star Trek: Discovery." Beam up for Season 2 to see more of the funniest series in the 24th century and a host of new series crossovers. — Marcus
