Like it or not, Star City has to be compared to its sister show "For all Mankind". Both are average when it comes to authenticity and detail, both space parts of the plot are equally (un)realistic, etc. Acting is better in Star City and so it overall atmosphere. BUT, where this thing really fails is such a biased and insulting portrait of Soviet Union, no doubt driven by the current political situation. That much of idiotic propaganda made me quiet a few times, but I came back for space technology bits. If this show left daily politiciking out of it, it would have been much better than "For all Mankind". The simplistic "Americans good - Russians bad" approach is an insult to viewers' intelligence,

This is truly horrible. There is almost no redeeming characteristic of the season 2. The acting is super shallow and stereotyped, the plot (what plot?) is insulting to anyone who had any encounter with Star Trek franchises (not to mention Trekkies). The show is full of mindless action. Patrick Stewart has turned dignified Admiral Picard into a bumbling senile fool who is doing this "gaze into the ideals" shot every episode at least twice. I have watched almost all Star Trek shows and I am stopping to watch this rubbish, so I can still have some good memories....
