Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has never been afraid to take risks, and across four seasons, the show’s various experiments have made it one of modern Star Trek’s more divisive entries. The series began as something of a crowd-pleaser, returning the franchise to an episodic format aboard Captain Christopher Pike’s Enterprise while reintroducing familiar characters like Spock, Uhura, and Number One.
