Star Trek Discovery

This is a completely new series airing initially on Netflix and has a much larger budget than previous series and also has the advantage of cutting edge computer special effects.
This could have just been a special effects fest with no real plot but it has proved to be a lot more than that.

The cast is really great with no weak points so far and a really interesting plot arc that I will not reveal except to say that it involves a war with the Klingons and a very unusual device to help the Federation win the war.
From the first episode the tale has been told in a very interesting way and you feel a bond with the characters and genuinely want them to succeed in their various roles. with Sonequa Martin-Green as Michael Burnham showing that she is very capable of holding the whole thing together as the Vulcan trained officer in the first episode. Her story unfolds rapidly from then on and I will not spoil it.
The new star ship Discovery is rather smart looking and the crew is headed by Jason Isaacs as Captain Gabriel Lorca with very mixed crew of aliens and humans working to win the war.
If you have Netflix you can get a new episode every Monday, not sure if it is available elsewhere but I would have thought that it would be released at some point at least onto DVD.
