Watched the first two episodes of 'Lower Decks'.
You're supposed to 'rock out' with the death metal loving 'black female lead', while laughing at the danger-hair beta male. The subtext is so obviously woke that I fail to see why some of you tried to give this a pass. Perhaps it will get better later on, but you'll have to suffer through all the 'I got this' college/social media female humor throughout.
The Joss Whedon quippy writing, the uber-competent females, the obnoxious black female captain, the obnoxious black female lead, and the less than impressive male side characters.
This show is also part of the hostile take over of the Star Trek franchise by left-liberal feminist writers.
The name & concept is based off a great episode of TNG called "Lower Decks" that focused on lower ranked crew members. It had great things like Picard having a briefing with the senior staff that normally we always get to see but this time you stayed with the crew on the bridge wondering what was going on.
The concept for this show isn't bad but it shouldn't be treated as canon.
