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.
Watchseries; I could feel my brain cells dying while watching this show. It feels like the creators watched Rick and Morty, and decided to make their own version without understanding what made that show even remotely good.
The animation is bottom-tier, the writing is obnoxious and shallow, the voice actors grate on my nerves and nearly every character is unbearably annoying. The worst is definitely Ensign Becket Mariner, her brand of selfish, self-absorbed, arrogant, over-the-top idiocy is basically ear poison for me. By contrast, the only likeable character overall was D'Vana Tendi, whose newcomer excitedness and enthusiasm for her new job was endearing and quite sweet.
The first scene is an exercise in "how unlikeable and annoying can we make our central characters?"
This feels like one of those terrible College Humour animated shorts, the ones which run on for too long and absolutely murder comedy with every second they're on screen. Except this is worse, because it's officially licensed content by the real company. If this show was just some random YouTube video made in somebody's basement and put up for free, I'd give it a pass.
This show should not have the official Trek stamp put on it. It should really be more like The Orville, or Red Dwarf, or Galaxy Quest -- joke shows (or, film in the latter case) utilising elements of Trek but being their own thing.
As it is, at best it's a mediocre animated parody, at worse it's despicable and repellant with some truly terrible jokes.

Star Trek: Lower Decks watchseries. Wow this is bad, its kind of if you got a Star Trek fan to write a attempt at comedy Star Trek & it fails on every level. Im sure who ever wrote it thinks its really funny & clever but its so not.
Totally annoying female main charactor who is completley none-likeable & a dull betrayed weak male main charactor.
Save your time and skip this one, even if you are a Star Trek fan.

Wow. So harsh with the reviews. I've been a Trek fan for 25 years and I think this show is brilliant. There are plenty of other series to watch if you're not into the humor, but can't we have a little variety?

Everyone is shouting. They speak fast. They speak stupid. I thought it is going to be a good show but I am just turning it off after episode five. This is not Star Trek. This is not Star Fleet material. This is just a mixture of junk from those two shows I mentioned in the title put in uniforms. So bad. Values are devolving so much these days. Disney killed Star Wars and now this...

What the heck is going on? Everyone in the show is so stupid, loud and annoying, they all act like 12 year olds high on ecstasy. Its basically idiocracy, but in space. Avoid this garbage, shame on the people who made this monstrosity and called it 'star trek'. They should have called 'wild space cadets' or something.

A cynical attempt to cash in on a fan favourite TNG episode by ignoring a complex dramatic narrative that the original episode explored and turning its namesake into a goofy slapstick clown circus of a show.

Ive managed to watch 8 episodes to see if it gets better and believe me it doesnt, same old dull cliché at every moment.
Totally annoying female main charactor who is completley none-likeable & a dull betrayed weak male main charactor.
