Star Trek: Lower Decks marks a return to animation for the Star Trek franchise for the first time since the 1970s, and the first openly comic series in the history of the franchise. If you’re wondering where all the hype was about, you can watch the first episode for free right now on YouTube.
Rick and Morty author and Solar Opposites co-creator Mike McMahan created the CBS All Access series, which in principle ignores prominent members of a starship, such as captains, communications officers and science officers, and instead targets lower-level employees who do not normally participate in any of the ‘real’ actions. Watch the episode below.

The first episode hit CBS All Access on August 6, and the second episode will land on the streaming service today. The first season consists of ten episodes.
‘I will never write seriously Star Trek, so the way we treat it is that it’s on a ship that’s not the main ship, “McMahan explained to us in a recent interview.” It’s not about the bridge crew. It’s about the lowest officers on that ship. But if we break stories for the lower decks, each episode also has a fair one Star Trek episode that happens to the bridge crew, and our lower deck bakers are not involved. However, you can not do a great sci-fi thing happen on a starship and do not affect it, because that is their whole world. So as you can see Lower Decks, you get a full Star Trek episode from the perspective of people who have their own social and emotional stories and their own sci-fi stories, but they just are not on the bridge. They do not have the information that the bridge receives, and they do not have the responsibility. “
And as you can see, the show is pretty damn funny. (I especially like the scene grooves in which a complete chaos breaks out in the exhibition hall, but two characters continue their date if nothing goes wrong.) This is the first animated Trek show since Star Trek: The Animated Series, which ran only one season from 1973-1974. Here’s hoping McMahan can stay on the float this longer, because he’s zero here at a killer price. I can not wait to see the rest of the season.
