Jessie Gender’s very positive review.

Inverse: Starfleet Academy Really Isn’t Your Parents’ Star Trek

Mostly strong-to-glowing reviews. Comic Book Club, Looper, Radio Times, and TV Guide are the most negative (or at least least positive). Comic Book Club and Original Cin (both which I’d never heard of before) are the only ones I’ve seen that seems to hate it. ComicBook.com, ScreenRant, and TV Line give middling reviews.
