Strange New Worlds Season 2 early review round up (startrek.website)

Since the embargo came off early Monday, many reviews are out based on the first six episode screeners.

Many are unequivocally positive to hyper enthusiastic. Some have a few quibbles in otherwise positive reviews.

In the absence of a dedicated SNW subgroup (yet…), I thought I’d drop some links to the reviews so far to get the conversation going.

Additional links can be added in comments.

A note on third-party reviews:

Historically, we have not allowed external reviews of individual episodes on the Old Site, as we felt they didn't really contribute anything that wasn't covered by our own discussion threads.

Now that we've migrated and have a smaller community, we might be more flexible on this for a little while.

(Advance review round-up posts like this one have always been okay, I'm just taking advantage of the opportunity to mention this.)

Great! I'm not going to read any of these, but an excited for the new season.

[–] Mister_Haste@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

I'm so hyped for season 2! Season 1 was outstanding so I'm cool with more of that.

The person from TV guide called it a "miracle". Several times. https://www.tvguide.com/news/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-season-2-review/?fbclid=IwAR1rfi-VsGS4mYjT9nJJGaSKcuYirDdlJp37qZDSTzkkhUWbwqUnJcCjuPo

Alan Sepinwall, generally regarded as the dean of modern-era television critics, has his review up: https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-reviews/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-season-2-review-anson-mount-ethan-peck-1234766233/

He likes it a lot, but says that he still misses the days of the long seasons and also notes that Wesley's guest performances as Kirk still haven't quite settled yet.
