Fall streaming TV lineup

Streaming services are starting to look like "real" TV networks. They're ordering series by the dozens. They just don't stack them up in a single premiere week, preferring to drop something to talk about every few weeks. Among the arrivals scattered through the fall:

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY (CBS All Access; Sept. 24) Using a fresh "Trek" series to launch a channel? They did it with "Voyager" and UPN (since defunct). Now they're trying it with this nascent subscription service. Will viewers pay $6/month for "Discovery"? (Plus exclusive "Good Wife" spinoff "The Good Fight," CBS network programs, and vintage shows including every "Trek" title.) The new show's summer Comic-Con panel generated enthusiasm among Trekkers seeing the trailer, with its new ship and new aliens, and hearing from star Sonequa Martin-Green. Her central character is the ship's first officer, raised on Vulcan by Spock's parents. ("Discovery" is set a decade before the '60s series.) Jason Isaacs plays the Discovery's complex captain, with Michelle Yeoh heading another ship, and Anthony Rapp's science officer as Trek series' first openly gay character. ("Discovery" premiere only to air on CBS broadcast network Sept. 24 at 8:30 p.m.)
