I finished watching all of them.
It starts off very uneven in season 1. By season 2 it hits it strides and, at times, is very VERY good. Like SNW, it gets Trek. It also is meta, and is without question is the most easter-egg filled, best-researched Trek creation ever (without being nauseating). By the middle of season 2, the characters are developed enough to have some really good episodes. When it is on-point, it scores huge! I mean how MANY Trek levels deep is
It's enjoyable, rich, funny, and can be both superficial and poignant. Sure, it has it's "woke-ness" but sometimes it makes fun of its own SJW themes.
It has become a very good, entertaining, Trek show. Plus, the season 2 finale is a great cliffhanger episode.

Cetacean Ops with the beluga whales named Kimola and MAtt? I laughed out loud!

New season is ongoing and it rocks.
If Lord of the Rings paid 10% of the attention and reverence to the source material as this show does, it would be way better.
Seriously, this show is immensely funny and deep and clever. Very reverent but completely unique.
Brilliant stuff. I shed a tear when the crew lifted off in the Cochrane exhibit and they played Jerry Goldsmith's theme music.

Lower Decks being a completely faithful Star Trek show with some actual bite to some episodes has been one of the most remarkable things about this new era of Trek. It honors the stories and world building of the main series in a irreverent-yet-also-reverential way that is just damn smart.

yeah i binged Lower Decks recently and really enjoyed it. If you've watched all of TNG, Voyager, and DS9 its 100% worth a watch and goes by really fast. the 2 main characters are a bit boring but the side characters are great
i guess the leads are in this weeks episode of Strange New Worlds in live action format too, that'll be cool to watch (haven't started s2 yet)

) season. Still managing to untangle canon while producing damn entertaining episodes.

Tempted to start it. Is it for young kids or worth watching for adults? Liked the trek crossover episode, but not really sold on the characters in this one alone. Thoughts?

I am so annoyed they cancelled this. The costs for animation of this type can't be very high and the stories had a nice mixture of drama and comedy with a lot of deep cuts to the legacy of Trek. Since its animation they can always bring it back whenever they want, but good grief people why kill the golden goose?

There was all that behind the scenes stuff going on at Paramount where they cut back significantly on original productions, so could have been a casualty of that
The finale of Lower Decks did leave a pretty interesting plotpoint that could be used for another series if they decided to do that - Deep Space Nine but with a multiverse portal instead of a regular wormhole is something you could have a lot of fun with.
