Star Trek: Lower Decks is a cartoon comedy series set in the Star Trek post-TNG universe. It centers on the lower decks (i.e. the background characters) of USS Cerritos, itself one of those background second-line starships that does the grunge work of the Federation. For example, the first episode involves second contact with a world which is more about formalizing a treaty than learning about a new culture.

Our four main characters areL

• Brad (Jack Quaid) - a by-the-book ensign that worships the bridge crew and wants to be just like them.
• Beckett (Tawny Newsome) - a rule-breaking ensign who parties hard and seems to have been everywhere and done everything.
• D'Vana (Noël Wells) - an Orion ensign and medtech, very friendly and upbeat.
• Sam (Eugene Cordero) - a cyborg ensign in engineering who loves Cerritos because there are so many things that need fixing.

The episodes are kind of TNG-setups with TOS-solutions. It does a good job of being Star Trek and referencing lore and is sort of "this is the chaos that goes on behind the scenes to make the bridge crew look good". I found it to be a very funny show.
