Netflix finally makes Star Trek shorts available for UK users – but they're extremely hard to find
Want to watch the Short Treks mini-series? You're going to need some special instructions
The Star Trek: Discovery spin-off series 'Short Treks' has arrived in the UK for the first time – although Netflix has tucked all four episodes away from view and made them bizarrely difficult to find unless you know exactly what you're looking for.
Beginning with the episode titled Runaway, the 15-minute mini-episodes are now available to watch internationally. But you have to locate them first.
