I wouldn’t say SNW is light. It’s a little campy, but I think it’s close to the spirit of TOS. They deal with some really heavy issues, but also remember to add a little humor to cut the tension. The only episode I didn’t like was the musical one.

I haven’t been too into the new shows but it feels like a lot of humor focused stuff. I like lower decks, but I’ve heard snw is also pretty light and now this… I know Picard exists but with that over I feel like something else needs to balance it out.

SNW has light moments but they are only there to hide how extremely dark it can be. That show goes DEEP into a lot of dark topics and only adds in the joke episodes so it’s not constantly depressing.

Oh nice, I didn’t know. I should probably check it out at some point.

If you’re a long time Trek fan, definitely check out SNW. It is the best of all the new stuff for old-school fans. By a long shot.

It reminds me of DS9 in that sense. SNW season two seemed to alternate between really dark episodes and really light episodes.
