This week a new season of CBS’ streaming Star Trek series arrives, and we have another Zoom-centric social distancing show. Star Trek: Discovery season three kicks off Thursday morning on CBS All Access, while Netflix is following up NBC’s Connected show with a similar take of its own called Social Distance.
