I was sitting there thinking...
Ive never been a fan of the cartoon shows (ie: Rick and Morty, Simpsons, Bobs Burgers, KOTH etc etc). Not really sure why, and its not like I havent given them a shot, they just never stuck.
Trek is one where i like the genre, and the series have a pretty wide berth of quality. I thought the episode was solid. But I am not sure if the humor would last on me before it becomes....grating.
May give it a shot though after the episode whereas prior I was like "nah no animated trek for me"
Try starting with season 1 episode 9, Crisis Point and watch forward from there for a few episodes. If you enjoy it, go back and watch the rest.
Im gonna start there tonight. I started at S1e4 and was underwhelmed. My rule of thumb is 4 episodes before I quite a show though. So ill stick to that at least and because its ST, it doesnt seem like theres any longer story arcs, mostly neat little 20 minute plot lines.
There are definitely longer story arcs in Lower Decks :)
