Well, it certainly isn't "Star Trek". It looks more like "Red Dwarf"
with the comedy (or what passes for it) ramped even further than "The
Orville". :-\

"We're not really elite - we're more like the cool, scrappy
underdogs," explains lower-deck Ensign Mariner in the trailer.

"We live on a spaceship, nobody is dying from a spear wound!" she
exclaims in the midst of some onboard mayhem.

The 10-episode series, which has already been renewed for a second
season, is the first animated "Star Trek" series in more than
45 years. "Star Trek: The Animated Series" had a brief run starting
in 1973.

CBS All Access subscribers can watch the show each week on
Thursdays starting Aug. 6 on the digital subscription video
on-demand and live streaming service,

"Rick and Morty" veteran Mike McMahan developed "Star Trek: Lower
Decks," which focuses on the support crew that lives in the bowels
at the very bottom of the U.S.S. Cerritos - known as one of the
Starfleet's least important ships - in the year 2380.

The Starfleet lower decks crew includes Ensign Beckett Mariner,
voiced by Tawny Newsome, Ensign Brad Boimler, voiced by Jack Quaid,
Ensign Tendi, voiced by Noël Wells and Ensign Rutherford, voiced by
Eugene Cordero.

It's the first animated series in CBS All Access' "Star Trek"
franchise, which also includes "Star Trek: Picard," "Star Trek:
Discovery" and the recently-announced "Star Trek: Strange New
Worlds."

Also coming up are a Section 31-based series with Michelle Yeoh and
a CG-animated "Star Trek" series for younger audiences in the works
at Nickelodeon.
