Visually is beautiful with excellent special effects but the show falls short in the writing department.
It is a show that has almost nothing from the Star Trek vibe. The characters are very emotional, crying a lot and talking about their feelings. The show is largely whispered, particularly by the main character Michael Burnham, who unfortunately does not measure up to iconic predecessors such as Picard, Janeway, or Archer.
Star Trek used to be a science-fiction show that frequently dealt with moral and ethical dilemmas related to science, exploration and the human condition. Star Trek: Discovery has become a melodrama that doesn't have anything of these.
The LGBT community will love some characters, but it seems to me that the producers are obsessively pushing their narrative.
There are some interesting moments here, but not enough, and there is too much drama. This show fall into the spectrum of mediocrity.
