The 7 Best TV Shows to Stream This Month
The 7 Best TV Shows to Stream This Month
本月最值得观看的 7 部流媒体剧集
The big screen is having a moment. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is breaking box office records, while Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has people dusting off Homer for the first time since high school. But television is keeping pace with a slate of can’t-miss new releases and beloved old favorites that are worth revisiting. 大银幕正处于高光时刻。《蜘蛛侠：全新的一天》（Spider-Man: Brand New Day）正在打破票房纪录，而克里斯托弗·诺兰的《奥德赛》（The Odyssey）让人们自高中以来第一次重新翻开荷马史诗。但电视荧屏也不甘示弱，一系列不容错过的新作和值得重温的经典老剧正同步登场。
While plenty of outlets will tell you what everyone is watching (see: Ted Lasso), that’s not our goal. As always, the TV shows we’re watching this month reflect the kinds of stories WIRED covers every day—shows that explore technology, science, politics, culture, and the sometimes unsettling ways they intersect. 虽然许多媒体会告诉你大家都在看什么（比如《泰德·拉索》），但这并非我们的目标。一如既往，我们本月关注的剧集反映了《连线》（WIRED）每天报道的主题——那些探索科技、科学、政治、文化，以及它们之间有时令人不安的交集的故事。
From prestige dramas to absurd comedies and one truly groundbreaking sci-fi series, these are the TV shows we think are worth making time for this month. 从精品剧集到荒诞喜剧，再到一部真正具有开创性的科幻剧，以下是我们认为本月值得花时间观看的电视节目。
Star Trek: The Original Series
《星际迷航：原初系列》
On September 8, 1966, science fiction changed forever with the premiere of the original Star Trek TV series. In the 60 years since, Gene Roddenberry’s ahead-of-its-time tale of the USS Enterprise crew’s journeys into deep space has spawned dozens of films, TV series, and video games, plus hundreds of books and comics—not to mention a number of real-world tech innovations. The legendary series has also shaped pop culture in countless other ways, giving us everything from Vulcan salutes and Klingons to the Prime Directive and the immortal command to “beam me up.” 1966 年 9 月 8 日，随着《星际迷航》原初系列剧集的首播，科幻小说从此改变。在随后的 60 年里，吉恩·罗登贝瑞（Gene Roddenberry）这部超前于时代的“进取号”船员深空探索故事，衍生出了数十部电影、剧集和电子游戏，以及数百本书籍和漫画——更不用说它还启发了许多现实世界的科技创新。这部传奇剧集还以无数其他方式塑造了流行文化，为我们带来了瓦肯举手礼、克林贡人、最高指导原则，以及那句不朽的指令：“把我传送上去”（beam me up）。
Whether you’re a lifelong Trekkie or a curious newcomer, there’s never been a better time to see where one of television’s most influential franchises began. Though it ran for just three seasons, Star Trek: The Original Series left an outsized legacy, breaking barriers with one of television’s first interracial kisses, featuring a remarkably diverse cast at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, and inspiring generations of scientists, engineers, and storytellers to imagine a more optimistic future. Sixty years later, its blend of adventure, social commentary, and boundless curiosity remains as compelling as ever. Best of all, Paramount+ is home to nearly every corner of the Star Trek universe, from the beautifully remastered original series to its many spinoffs and feature films. If you’re celebrating the franchise’s 60th anniversary, there’s no better place to boldly go back to where it all began. 无论你是终身“星际迷”还是好奇的新观众，现在都是了解这一电视史上最具影响力系列剧集起源的最佳时机。尽管《星际迷航：原初系列》仅播出了三季，但它留下了巨大的遗产：它通过电视史上最早的跨种族接吻之一打破了禁忌，在民权运动高潮时期呈现了极其多元化的演员阵容，并激励了一代又一代的科学家、工程师和创作者去构想一个更乐观的未来。60 年后，它融合了冒险、社会评论和无限好奇心的特质依然引人入胜。最棒的是，Paramount+ 几乎涵盖了《星际迷航》宇宙的每一个角落，从精美修复的原初系列到其众多的衍生剧和电影。如果你正在庆祝该系列诞生 60 周年，这里就是你“大胆地回到一切开始的地方”的最佳选择。 Watch on Paramount+ (在 Paramount+ 观看)

This summer is a particularly ripe moment for fans of irreverent animated sci-fi, as it also brings President Curtis, a new spinoff set in the Rick and Morty universe.
