The first three seasons delivered character-driven stories with kaleidoscopic circumstances that felt like the best of "Trek." Season 4 continues to balance the silly and the serious to great effect.

Never without spirit and repeatedly inspired, the new episodes continue to push the boundaries of what audiences expect from a “Star Trek” series, while honoring the franchise’s past through its reimagined characters and world-of-the-week framework.

Season 4 continues mightily, in a crop of episodes as exhilarating as they are frustrating.

This season is a fantastic encapsulation of the franchise. It’s a fun, innovative exploration of the human condition. It takes its name very seriously — you don’t know what strange is till you watch this season, apparently.

Season 4 of Strange New Worlds embodies the best and the worst parts of the series. It can be funny, scary, and moving as it explores topics that have long been core to Star Trek like identity, duty, and ethics.

Make it so! Season 4 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds brings its well-established character development to bear on a new round of intergalactic missions, Starfleet protocols, and the stardust of light humor.

I can't get enough of SNW. The new season in fire so far, especially episode 2. I wish we had several more seasons to look forward to. In lieu of that, I hope the studio will greenlight Start Trek: Year One.

The first two episodes were fantastic scifi and a return to what makes Star trek great. The second episode was a disturbing mystery that didn't try to answer all the questions it raised. So far so good.

Hands down the best Star Trek TV show since TNG and DS9. Season 4 doesn’t disappoint… and whilst it’s a very character driven piece (which is its strength), the action and set pieces are aplenty.

Just too stupid. Obnoxious camera work. Dumb dialog. Unpleasant to watch.

First episode season 4 was great knocked it out of the park but second episode was garage. This wasnt even good horror and definitely wasn't scifi. It failed on all fronts. Can't afford to waste an episode on crap like this with only 10 -12 episodes in a season.

What the hell!? Episode 1 was great but what are they thinking with the horror garbage in episode 2? Yuck!
