“The Grange-Hill-with-phasers vibe of a gang of kids testing their boundaries is surprisingly moreish”
Starfleet Academy, Paramount+
“What differentiates Starfleet Academy is that the headstrong Caleb and his cohort are far more impulsive – and indeed hornier – than the usual Trek crew. The Grange-Hill-with-phasers vibe of a gang of kids testing their boundaries is surprisingly moreish. Clearly the big bad Braka will return later in the season to cause more galactic strife. But in the meantime it’s enough to hope our unvarnished young heroes win a laser tag battle against their uppity rivals at the military college.”
