"Wedged between the operatic, trailblazing perfection of
Star Trek: The Next
Generation and the charming (yet wildly inconsistent)
Star Trek: Voyager,
Deep Space Nine was at an immediate disadvantage. Where were all the ships?
The voyages? The jefferies tubes, dammit? Why would we want to watch a
dialogue-heavy drama set on a badly lit space station?
But
Deep Space Nine is like
The Americans in space, or a le Carré cold war
novel set in the dying embers of a horrific occupation. It’s about racial
tension, religious fundamentalism and newfound faith. It is, hands down, one of
the smartest things ever to come out of mainstream science fiction."
I agree - we’ve been rewatching the whole series of
DS9 on Netflix this year.
