People have been trying to make a Star Trek Academy series or movie for over 30 years. Now they have finally done it.
The story takes place in the Star Trek Discovery timeline, which is centuries past what most people think of as Star Trek. In Discovery, there was an incident called "the burn" that destroyed all warp capable ships in the galaxy and forced most space faring civilizations to start over. I don't remember for sure, but I think that they discovered the cause of this disaster and fixed it.
There are many YouTubers who hate this new show, but a few who like it. Whereas some people think that Holly Hunter makes for a terrible starship captain, others enjoy her quirky charm.
I think that the first episode has a few minor flaws, but makes for passable entertainment.
How well a person enjoys a show like this depends much on their expectations. One complaint that I hear is that the show feels like a high school drama in Star Trek. I agree with one person who said that what the fans really want is a serious drama about exploring space, and not this.
The ship has too much eye candy. It is like a pinball machine. However, it is fun to look at. The show costs about $15 million per episode to make
The series takes diversity to an extreme level. Almost every Star Trek species is a student or instructor at this academy. It is in danger of becoming a self-parody.
