As long as it looks and sounds good enough to be immersive your realism factor is satisfied.

What they actually did was come up with as many different stories as you would have found in 10 episodes of TNG, then wove them together into one story. It was messy and overlapping and altogether more realistic than normal life on TV where characters only ever face one neat, self-contained problem per week.

I have no need for you to agree with me.

It has set up a whole third season and seeded any number of potential spin-offs, right at the time when the owner of the property is launching a new streaming service and is looking for programming ideas. I think it’s done the franchise a whole ton of favours.
