Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

[yourlibrarian]

Show Title: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Audience Rating: Teen and up
Warnings: None that I remember
Length of Episodes: 1 hour
Length of Series: 7 Seasons (176 episodes)
Why you recommend it: It has been a very long time since I've seen any of this show and with 7 seasons and the traditional 22+ episode seasons, there is an awful lot here to watch. However I think in terms of seriality, character development, and a more political and complex sort of role for both the Federation and its member worlds, this iteration of Star Trek is hard to beat as an overall story. I think many Trek viewers would agree that it's held up particularly well as not just a Trek show but as good TV.

Oh yes! To me, it's amazing how much "story" there was, while rarely leaving the station!
