The Tribeca Festival premiere of season three is over, and reviews are starting to trickle in.
They’re likely to be pretty light on spoilers, but let’s keep them confined to this thread all the same.
Indiewire has a less positive review - “Brings the Fun — and Zombies — but Misses Chances to Go Deeper”

As I share this reviewer’s opinion on Tomorrow-cubed, I think I’m at the point of wanting to stop myself from reading more reviews now…

Ryan Britt had a good review for Inverse, and an interesting take on the show overall.
Given how much of a OG fan Akiva Goldsman is, this seems a fair assessment - even if other, mostly younger fans, have different ideas about where the show should link up with the original.

Heck, it was pretty much Goldsman’s pitch:

I’ve been wondering how much of the decision to wrap SNW with a short sixth season might have to do with Goldsman’s contract with Paramount coming to an end and his new one with another franchise and major studio.
SNW really was his project, regardless of Alonso Myers being the co-showrunner.
There’s a possibility that this is also about a change in leadership as the show transitions to a true TOS show, perhaps hopping to a time post-TAS but before the movies, and even shifting somewhat in tone.
All of this would make sense of casting an older actor as Jim Kirk.
