Based on @jessiegender 's very positive spoiler-free review, I was expecting right-wing pushback against Star Trek: Starfleet Academy -- and just doing a quick search for s1e1 (which Paramount has posted on YouTube for free as they have done before), I see it has arrived. A grab-bag of video titles:

  • "Starfleet Academy Ep. 3 is MUCH Worse"
  • "Starfleet Academy - What Is This Garbage?" (The Critical Drinker)
  • "Starfleet Academy - This Show Is Pure Torture" (The Critical Drinker)
  • "Starfleet Academy Has the Worst Characters on TV" (Emily Butler)
  • "Holly Hunter GOES OFF As Paramount CANCELED Starfleet Academy 2 After First 2 Ep BOMBED!?" (Buzzline) - I see no evidence that it has been cancelled or done poorly, but I'm not sure where to look other than Wikipedia
  • "Holly Hunter GOES OFF And BLAMES The Creators Of Starfleet Academy For It’s FLOP!?" (Buzzline again -- almost the same cue-card, too)
  • "Starfleet Academy is AWFUL - Star Trek is Dead" (Nerdrotic)
  • "Starfleet Academy SUCKS - We've Hit Slop Bottom - Review" (The Movie Blues)
  • "Join The New, More Inclusive Starfleet Academy Today" (Babylon Bee, a right-wing humor site, leaning in heavily to fat-phobia)

So, yeah, it's probably really good. ^.^

I’d say it’s a bit uneven and not what I was expecting, but it’s still finding its rhythm. E3 has some good moments.
