Hilarious self-parody of TNG-era Star Trek. Funny on its own, but even better if you know the shows it's riffing on. Great as a diversion or as a palette cleanser after watching something more serious (like, say, Picard).
Toward the end of the first season they start mixing in episodes with Big Changes(tm), Important Events, Mysteries and continuity. It's not bad when it does those episodes. But I think it's better when it plays to its strengths: the absurdity of the situations and the way the characters play off each other.
