REVIEW: Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4 Goes Boldly Forward and Funnier Than Ever

Fresh off a well-received crossover episode with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the hit animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks is back for its fourth season on Paramount+. Continuing the voyages of the USS Cerritos, a service vessel within the Starfleet armada often tasked with the more menial jobs around the United Federation, Lower Decks is just as packed with funny nods to the Star Trek mythos as it’s ever been. Instead of just delivering more of the same, Lower Decks Season 4 takes even bigger creative swings with its story and characters and fortunately, connects more often than not.It’s promotion time on the Cerritos, with several of the junior officers up to take the next major step in their careers in Starfleet on the intrepid starship. This leads to a heightened sense of responsibility and prominence as Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler, along with their friends, acclimate to their new roles as they traverse the cosmos. These promotions come just as the galaxy faces an unstoppable threat that only the Cerritos and its misfit crew may be equipped to quell before it’s too late.Right from the opening episode, Lower Decks Season 4 is back in the thick of its fan-favorite antics, lovingly skewering everything from Star Trek: Voyager to the more unsavory side of the Holodeck. But, subtly at first, it becomes clear that showrunner Mike McMahan and the team are incorporating more risks and diversions from the formula. Lower Decks is deceptively bold, managing the tricky balance between giving audiences the comfort and humor they expect while gradually building high stakes and episodes that break from the storytelling norm.RELATED: Strange New Worlds Reminds Fans People Are Still Flawed in the Future
