I haven't checked out any of the other new series yet. I sat through a few episodes of Discovery, didn't find myself as engaged (lol) with it as some of the others. I have yet to check out Strange New Worlds but it looks like it should be pretty alright.
I'm pissed that Paramount+ will only feed us one new episode a week though. I had really gotten used to the whole binge-style thing lol
Without dropping any bombs, currency actually does come into play as part of the 2nd season, albeit in a pretty typical Star Trek kinda way.
