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 am now on E8 of S1 and wow it has just gotten terrible. I don’t think I will make it to S3.

Yeah, quit while you can. S3 only feels okay-ish in comparison because S1 and S2 are so absolutely terrible. Not worth it.

Yeah I am done with it.

Good choice.

I haven’t really liked any Star Trek show since STNG

Have you watched "The Orville"? It's much better Star Trek than a lot of the current new Trek stuff.

The Orville was awesome

Just skip to season three.
