This is a spoiler-free preview of the first five episodes of season three.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has shifted from being the best modern Trek to a less consistent offering in its third season, with the first five episodes struggling to balance humor and darker themes. While character interactions remain charming, some episodes feel unfocused or overwrought, leading to a concerning reliance on serialized storytelling that detracts from its standalone adventures.
