Star Trek has been a beloved franchise for decades, and its evolution into different eras makes it a fascinating subject to explore, especially when considering the modern era that began with the advent of Paramount+'s streaming service. Originally launched as CBS All Access, this platform has been instrumental in bringing new Star Trek content straight to fans, starting with the groundbreaking series Discovery in 2017. The modern era has seen a diverse range of projects, from the first-ever straight-to-streaming TV movie, Star Trek: Section 31, to a variety of series including two animated shows and the intriguing Short Treks.
The challenge in ranking these modern Star Trek offerings lies in their varied formats and genres, which span from intense sci-fi drama to lighter, comedic tones, and from traditional episodic storytelling to innovative shorts. It's also worth noting that the quality of a series can fluctuate over its seasons, so our rankings consider the entirety of each show's run, rather than focusing on isolated peaks.
So, whether you're ready to "make it so," "engage," "fly," "blast off," or "punch it" as you channel your inner Starfleet captain, let's dive into the rankings of the best and worst Star Trek series from the modern era.
