Early buzz for Star Trek: Discovery is very promising
The first reviews for Star Trek: Discovery are in – and things are looking very good indeed.
The series premieres Sunday, September 24 on CBS in the US and on Monday, September 25 on Netflix in the UK.
But before then, the first two episodes debuted at the show's world premiere in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening (September 19) – and the lucky attendees were quick to heap praise on the forthcoming sci-fi series, which stars The Walking Dead's Sonequa Martin Green, Jason Isaacs and Michelle Yeoh.
Sonequa, who plays Spock's half-sister Michael Burnham, drew particular praise from enraptured audiences, who were left wanting more episodes after the premiere was over.
Steady on. We haven't even seen episode one yet.
#StarTrekDiscovery's first ep is so good, everyone. @SonequaMG kills it. Acknowledging the old while embracing the new. Can't wait for more.

My No.1 take on #StarTrekDiscovery after seeing the first two episodes tonight is: I can't believe we get 13 more episodes of this!!! pic.twitter.com/CIEXeMbCVg
