‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Season 4
Star Trek: Lower Decks is not-so-sneakily the best Star Trek series of the past few years (and there have been a bunch of them). Following the adventures of the crew on the lower decks, aka the folks tasked with cleaning up all the messes left by the big adventures, Lower Decks features a hilariously engaging ensemble anchored by Tawny Newsome’s Ensign Mariner, Jack Quaid’s Ensign Boimler, Noël Wells’ Tendy, and Eugene Cordero’s Rutherford. While previous seasons have barreled through wild comedy set-pieces and some of the best action scenes on TV, Season 4 has taken the surprising step of promoting our main four characters. They still have a ton of grunt work to do, but with more responsibility for their actions are continuing to pummel through Star Trek clichés and emotional catharses like never before.
