An excellent adventure on the lower decks: "Star Trek: Lower Decks"
Incredibly, Season after season of Star Trek: Lower Decks, the animated comedy series.
Season after season of "Star Trek: Lower Decks", the animated comedy series set on the lower decks of the USS Cerritos just keeps getting better and better. This is an extremely large achievement considering that "Lower Decks" is a series that must entertain very demanding fans, but also maintain respect for the iconic universe. And that in an era where Star Trek has become mainstream and is trying to be politically (too) correct. But even in the fourth season, creator and showrunner Mike McMahan, actors, animators, and screenwriters outdid themselves and gave us first-class entertainment, but also promoted our heroes to a new act, which enriched the narrative and opened numerous new possibilities. And left us wanting more.
Heroes of the "lower decks"
In the past three seasons of "Lower Decks", we had the opportunity to get to know our main heroes - Ensign Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid), a young officer who follows the rules without question, and his exact opposite, the rebellious Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome). Along with them, the cabin on the lower decks is occupied by D'vana Tendi (Noël Wells), the first Orion on a Federation ship, and a scientist, not a pirate. As well as Sam Rutherford, a cyborg engineer with a mystical past.

This foursome is the heart of the series, and an inexhaustible source of accidents and mishaps on the missions of the USS Ceritos, a second-class Starfleet ship. And then there are the higher-ranking officers on the bridge – Captain Carol Freeman (Dawnn Lewis), who we discover is the Mariner's mother; Jack Ransom (Jerry O'Connell), a first officer inspired by Kirk and Riker; security chief, Bajoran Shaxs (Fred Tatasciore), a good-hearted ruffian, and his partner, the curmudgeonly and sarcastic doctor T'Ana (Gillian Vigman), also the first Caitian (bipedal cat species) to appear in Star Trek since the 70s last century.
New ranks, new challenges
You would think that the lower deck setting has potential for at least four seasons (if not more). But the creative team decided to surprise the fans and spice up this already delicious "Plomeek soup". So at the very beginning of the fourth season, we saw how our four were promoted - to second lieutenants. This means that they can lead missions, or at least manage some elements. And to make things more interesting, the four are joined by an old/new character – the Vulcan T'Lyn (Gabrielle Ruiz), which greatly contributes to the already excellent (and unforced) humor. This creates a cascading effect, changing the dynamic between the characters as each tries to adapt to the new situation.
