Article Summary

  • Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S04E04, “A Case of Chiaroscuro,” takes a bold noir turn with a deadly mistaken identity plot.
  • Una becomes entangled in a dangerous resistance struggle after being mistaken for a leader under Klingon occupation.
  • Season 4 continues Strange New Worlds’ creative streak, following a horror story and a Hangover-style adventure.
  • Written by Skylar Ojeda and Dana Horgan, and directed by Meera Menon, the episode promises stylish high-stakes drama.

When Paramount+'s Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, and Ethan Peck-starring Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ends its run, we're going to look back and realize that it was the most creative series within the "Star Trek" universe. While that may not be a popular opinion, we would happily offer this season as proof – and we're only going on the season's fourth episode. After a truly terrifying horror outing and the show's own take on "The Hangover," S04E04: "A Case of Chiaroscuro" is going the "noir" route with an episode that finds Una (Romijn) dealing with a deadly case of mistaken identity.
