The opening credits of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" establish what kind of a show audiences can expect. Most classic Trek shows feature a bold, adventurous orchestral fanfare paired with gorgeous shots of the U.S.S. Enterprise, Deep Space Nine, or the U.S.S. Voyager inspirationally trekking through vast and awe-inspiring spatial phenomena. Star trekking, if you will. "Lower Decks" features a similar Jerry Goldsmith-inspired piece (composed by Chris Westlake), and depicts similarly inspiring spatial scenes of the U.S.S. Cerritos boldly encountering vast and dangerous situations. In a humorous twist, however, the Cerritos doesn't fare well in said encounters. It looks out over an ineffably large black hole ... and then is sucked in. It soars over a rocky heavenly body of some kind, only to clip its engine against an outcropping and begin to crash.

Castle Rock has just leveled up.
That’s the big takeaway from this week’s episode (“Filter”). From the start, the show had a baseline level of quality — talented cast, understated writing, a keen eye for everyday American evil and a willingness to aim for “eerie” rather than “over the top” — that’s a step up from most Stephen King adaptations (and also several prestige dramas in their shaky early episodes).
