My exact question. I saw season 1 when it aired but life happened and I never came back to watch the other seasons. Tbh i thought it was over at this point.

Anyone wanna give me the motivation to binge the next four seasons? Did the show mature?

It never quite finds its grove.

Season 1, 2 & 3 all had fantastic premises I would have loved 7 seasons of but were all unrelated and concluded within a season.

Season 4 actually demonstrates the missed opportunity, they deal with the fall out of season 3

For example if you think of the scene set in "A Vulkan Hello", you would have ended up with an Action focussed version of DS9.

You didn't need a spore drive, Jason Isaacs could have stayed the same and we could still have watched scientists struggle to become soliders with the war causing the type of fall out we see in Season 4.

Thank you for taking the time to give me a take from the other perspective! I’m glad you enjoyed it regardless (or at least it sounds like you did to some degree)

It is a shame each season is self contained tho

And then everyone watching it (which, unlike what you might think from reading this thread, is actually millions of people) would get super pissed when it got cancelled in the middle of a storyline.
