I just started this show. I haven’t really liked any Star Trek show since STNG, so I kept putting this one off. Mostly because Picard hasn’t been well received

I am halfway through season one. I am not sure what to say about this show. I don’t love it. Parts have a lot of promise and parts are just so clumsy. It has a serial story, but it is clear that whoever is writing it is still thinking episodically. Things are really sped up and the writers have an obsession with illustrating backstory in the worse way. So many scenes with laborious dialogue.

The show is also a lot more realistic view of the federation than previous Trek products I have seen.

Overall there is enough goodness to keep me watching and again, I don’t love it.

I liked it until they started doing a fucking musical.

I should have said I have only seen the first season. It has really corny parts

It gets worse every season. With the Ellisons owning it Star Trek has nothing to say. Just pretty CGI and action plots. The soul of it isn't there in SNW.

The deal didn't close until about August. You can blame the upcoming stuff on the Ellisons, but SNW seasons 1-3 have nothing to do with them.

Well TNG will always be there. Its honestly been well before Enterprise that Star Trek lost it. The minute everyone needed a command promotion at the end of TNG is when it began.
