I found the first season to be fairly entertaining but soon after in the second season so much emphasis was placed on making a political statement and not on creating a quality and entertaining actual Star Trek series that I lost almost all interest in the show. It actually becoming boring and I had to force myself through one too many episode to actually enjoy myself. The dialogue was stale and unenlightening. The portrayals of the characters were trite and very unconvincing. I soon stopped even wanting to see certain characters appear on the screen. The storylines were so uninspiring and meandering that more interesting things happen at a McDonalds every Friday night. If you want a more true, loyal, and really entertaining version of Star Trek, view Star Trek Strange New Worlds.
