Whether that will work out, we don’t know, but here’s the trailer.

With Mariner now under Ransom’s watchful eye and direct command, will she be able to toe the line and keep from being booted from Starfleet once and for all? Their first away mission together will be the first test of that resolve.

The series is adapted by Craig Silverstein (Turn: Washington’s Spies) from a short story collection by sci-fi author Ken Liu.
The series centers on the concept of uploading human consciousness to the cloud—and, in particular, on a bullied teen girl who receives help from what appears to be her dead father.
