They finally figured out a way to get us all to pay $6 a month for that damn service.
Is doing so now worth it for "Discovery"? Some other comments on this thread make me think, perhaps not.
Even if the new... "Stewart vehicle" is not TNG, let's hope it is of equal quality. Make it so.
The last season of Wallander (the Swedish production, not the Branagh thing) became rather interesting, exploring the experience of later life and perhaps the meaning of life as found in and through that context. The new Star Trek show probably won't emphasize this, but it would be an interesting perspective.

1) For example, I bought season 2 of "The Expanse". But, now that Amazon has picked up production, I'm just waiting for season 3 to be added to the Prime offering; I just don't find myself in that much of a hurry/need, even though I found the show quite good.
"The Expanse" was the best Sci-Fi series I've seen in a long time. Another that I've started that seems good is "Killjoys".
Also, fundamentally, it's in the "humanist" vein -- something that really appealed to me when it reached its peak in "The Next Generation".
- they turned up the drama something fierce. The first two episodes are the worst. - The technobable is horrible. Something about an intergalactic fungus.
Other than the above two I really enjoyed the first season.
