Strange New Worlds
Captain Christopher Pike is recalled to duty early after his first officer goes missing while on a mission near Kiley 279. The planet that seems to be near warp technology but that turns out to be misleading. Pike and two of his bridge crew (Spock, La'an) disguise themselves as locals and beam down.
They locate the missing Starfleet officers. They are getting ready to leave when they discover that Starfleet is partly to blame for the fact that the people of Kiley 279 have developed some variant of warp technology which they are using to create weapons. Pike decides that he can't leave without attempting to make things better on the planet.
Pike and Spock stay behind and show the leaders of Kiley 279 what became of Earth when they used nuclear technology to create weapons.
Thoughts
I decide to give this series a try because the first season is currently free on Prime. I've got to say that I wasn't terribly moved by what I saw. I found Pike's attempt to tell the people of Kiley 279 about what happened on Earth to be very preachy. It wasn't exactly winning me over prior to that and that just tipped me away from wanting to keep watching.
