The debut episode of Star Trek: Discovery – a certified hit for US network CBS – dropped on Netflix internationally yesterday (25 September) with viewers delighted to see the streaming service has enhanced the experience for longtime Trekkies.
This Easter Egg is a nice touch from Netflix who clearly appreciates the Trek series’ cult following.
Star Trek: Discovery – which stars Sonequa Martin-Green, Michelle Yeoh, Jason Isaacs and James Frain as Spock’s father Sarek – will land on Netflix one day after its US premiere until its mid-season break in November.
Since its premiere, the opening episode has received positive reviews from critics with many praising former The Walking Dead star Martin-Green for her central role as Michael Burnham.
