Summary: the cringe intensifies.
So, I didn’t intend to cover these, I was going to walk away from the show after the first two episodes, but due to people writing in to the site to ask me to cover the latest two episodes, here we are.
For a lot of these episodes very little of substance happens, lots of crying, lots of emotions lots of roll your eyes scenes but not much of substance. We do get a look into Klingon culture where we are told that one character played by a black actor has two dads that both abandoned him. This feels like they are deliberately trying to play into the deeply racist stereotypes of black children being abandoned by their fathers. At times much like with Iron Heart last year it feels like the progressives who make these shows are actually more racist than anyone else.
The one thing I couldn’t ignore as I watched the two recent episodes was just how this show feels like parody. It feels like it was written to spoof other seasons of Star Trek, yet whilst something like the Orville did that well here it just feels lazy and cheap.
The characters are also black holes of charisma.
Overall, it is not worse than the first two episodes it is more of the same.
1/5
