Star Trek's vast and ever-expanding universe makes ranking its modern era shows a fascinating, if complex, task. Since its revival on Paramount+, the franchise has explored diverse formats and tones, from dramatic sci-fi epics to animated adventures and comedic shorts. To fairly assess these diverse offerings, we've considered each series' complete run, acknowledging that individual seasons can vary in quality. This ranking encompasses everything from the flagship Star Trek: Discovery to the animated series and the shorter Short Treks. The recent Star Trek: Section 31 movie, initially conceived as a series, also factors into our assessment. Given the range of styles—from straightforward drama to animation and feature-length films—direct comparisons are challenging, but we've strived for a balanced evaluation of each project's overall impact and contribution to the modern Star Trek canon. Now, let's boldly go where no ranking has gone before!
