I say it's pure garbage!
I say it's pure garbage!
I tapped out after about three shows, to be fair, I don't even like TNG, so it was an uphill climb to begin with.
The Klingon redesign didn't bother me other than the fact that the actors can barely speak in their get ups, my major problem was not liking Michael. I've heard it improves and most shows these days need 7 episodes to get going so maybe i cut too early.
I will say however, when I read some of the outrageous vitriol lobbed against it online, it makes me want to defend it for some reason.

actually, by the end of S2, the Klingons look more like traditional Klingons, or at least the movie/TNG version and it is explained why the change in appearance. Michael takes a while to get used to but I did like her by the end of the first season. give it a shot at least through the season and see if your opinion changes
I have become used to the new Star Trek shows.
I'll continue to watch them. (especially Lower Decks, I think the people making the animated series watched a few episodes of Star Trek, there are good things in it, that are not just random things thrown in)
That said, I feel Star Trek V: The Final Frontier gets better every year.
i watched one episode of Lower Decks. it's just not for me.
S3 of Discovery started. first episode has me very intrigued with where they will go with it. set 900 years ahead of season 2, Federation has fallen. I am figuring the show will now be about trying to resurrect the UFP
Senqua Martin-Green is a fantastic actor. She stole many scenes on Walking Dead. But Michael is just a poorly created character. Green signed to play a lower deck science officer and that's the life we learn of. We would only see the bridge when her character had to go up there. She was never supposed to be related to Spock or any of that soap opera garbage.
It was said before and that was my take, that it doesn’t have the optimism I like that is usually inherent in Star Trek.
I agree if it wasn’t called Star Trek it might have been something enjoyable to me.
That said, when they rebooted Battlestar Galactica to something darker, I enjoyed that. So maybe it’s because I loved the original Trek and was only so-so about the original BG.
interesting you mention the optimism and hope. that actually seems to be what they are doing this season. optimism for what the federation stands for, and hope to bring it back for the galaxy and it's people
