About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want Star Trek with deeper politics, faith, and long-running conflicts centered on a busy station, closer in spirit to Babylon 5 than Star Trek: The Next Generation; Not for you if you prefer purely episodic exploration.
Pros: bold long-running arcs; rich character drama; big moral questions | Cons: uneven early seasons; filler comedy episodes; occasional soapiness
