The Best Star Trek Series of the Modern Era (and the Worst)
Star Trek's sprawling universe has expanded significantly in recent years, making it a fascinating subject for ranking. To approach this fairly, we'll categorize the modern era of Star Trek (post-2017) by considering its diverse output: five new live-action series, two animated series, and a collection of short films ("Short Treks"). This modern era, launched by Discovery on Paramount+ (formerly CBS All Access), now includes the upcoming feature-length film, Star Trek: Section 31, initially conceived as a series.
The sheer variety of approaches—from hard sci-fi to comedy, animation, short-form storytelling, and feature-length narratives—presents a unique challenge in comparing these projects. Furthermore, individual series have experienced fluctuations in quality across their seasons. Therefore, this ranking considers each series' overall performance, encompassing its highs and lows, rather than focusing solely on peak episodes.
With that in mind, let's boldly go where no ranking has gone before!
