This sci-fi TV show is an enjoyable comedic 'Star Trek' homage

is very clearly Seth MacFarlane's attempt to recreate the feel, aesthetic and episodic storytelling ofwith jokes thrown in that all too frequently fall either into lazy pop culture references or, well, dick jokes.

The first half of the first season pretty much gets better with each episode as MacFarlane discovers exactly what the show is that he really wants to be making and, by the halfway point of the season, Rumour has it that the awkward humour in the first few episodes comes from the executives at Fox wanting the show to be very much a full-blooded comedy – effectivelyin space – while that was never entirely MacFarlane's own plan.

launched, Star Trek: Discovery was released as CBS' calling card for their streaming service, CBS: All Access , and it was a remarkably different Star Trek. Gone was the optimism, the lightness, and the episodic nature; in was edginess, despair and an altogether more caustic crew than Trek has ever had, navigating a season-long arc that dispensed almost entirely with standalone episodes.
