	Media	Author	Review
		Jacob Hall SlashFilm	"[3rd Season Review]: As funny and adventurous as ever (...)The jokes are funnier, the characters continuously on-point, and the storytelling, while certainly goofy, very much in-line with the basic tenets of 'Star Trek'"
		Sam Stone CBR	"[3rd Season Review]: Three seasons in, it takes more creative risks with its characters and story. Fortunately, most of them pay off for another winning season"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"Its first four episodes contain some laughs and some elegantly done character work. But if the joke of 'Lower Decks' is that its characters (...) fall short of demanding a show about their adventures, it’s not hard to agree"
		Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"[It] has its charms, and its self-referential energy will delight those in the know (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Lots of references and call-backs, few actual jokes (...) There's still room for 'Star Trek: Lower Decks' to evolve into something with a stand-alone sense of humor, but for now it's best suited as a good-natured time-waster"
		Liz Shannon Miller Collider	"Not every joke lands perfectly, but so much of 'Lower Decks' humor is impressively well-calibrated to celebrate this franchise for its quirks, while also poking fun at concepts that are relatable no matter the century"
		Noah Gittell The Guardian	"[It] refreshingly unshackles itself from the mothership, yet it can’t quite beam its way to anywhere distinctive (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Joel Keller Decider	"A hilarious look at the people who make 'Starfleet' run and never get credit."
		Zack Handlen AV Club	"The problem is that, at least as of right now, 'The Lower Decks' is less 'funny' than it is 'the idea of funny'"
