As the title suggests, this was unexpected. I was a big doubter off the show due to the trailer, but after relenting, I watched the first episode. Then the second, and third, etc.
Unlike other Klutzman "Trek-ish" shows from CBS, this show is made by people who care about canon and continuity. Each episode gets better as the season goes on, becoming more and more like Star Trek. The humor is what you are expecting, but can be quite good at times when made with good timing. The world and ship designs, voice acting, and music is excellent, capturing a TNG era which gives the show great presence. This makes me wonder, how is it an animated comedy can be more Trek than a show with a knighted legendary actor, costing a few billion dollars per episode?!?
Overall this was an excellent start with some kinks to iron out, but I am definitely anticipating season 2, and ready to flaunt Lower Decks in the face of STD and Picard.
