Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad?

I’ll be honest, I can’t remember all my particular criticisms, but here’s my impressions that I have left:
It’d be more accurately titled Star Trek: Burnham, because 95% of the time, every problem or mystery is somehow related to Burnham, everyone else is just supporting cast.
Like Picard, each season felt very disconnected from the others, there’s some continuity, but you could almost name the season based on the feel of an episode.
Plots more often than not felt underwhelming, as they were solved by essentially deus ex machina, mcguffins, surprise reveals or abrupt character changes.
It was largely visually ok, actors all did at least a decent job.
I have 0 desire to ever rewatch a single episode.

If there’s one thing I’d like to peek behind the curtain to see, it’s the streaming metrics for each trek.
My gut instinct is that almost nobody wants to rewatch it unless it is their own favorite trek. I know I don’t.

I always called it ‘The Burnham Show, starring Michael Burnham’

Did we watch the same show? She is literally demoted and sent to prison in the first episode.

@Corgana she did redeem herself.

You’re suggesting that redemption from disgrace is the same as “everyone else fawning over how great she is and what they’d do without her”?
