I remember when DS9 came out. I thought and said, frequently, “This isn’t Star Trek! Trek is supposed to be about people on a starship, going to new places! This crew isn’t going anywhere, what’s the point?”
It’s a good thing that show runners didn’t listen to “fans” like I used to be. Trek should always be free to try new things.
(No need to get into the specifics of the video. It’s only 5 minutes, if you want to see factual errors and fat-shaming from some internet rando.)

At face value and current watching experience, I'd say that's a hard disagree. But then I can't be arsed watching some rando with a webcam circling around their actual point for several minutes, and would love a one sentence summary beyond that "let's you and him fight" title.
From the video description:
Personally I'd say that about Strange New Worlds — and speaking as one old nerd to another, I realise I'm fairly alone with that opinion — but unlike this youtuber I've had three full seasons of that show to form my opinion, rather than four episodes of SA.
Oh wait, the video was published on 18 January, she actually judged it only on the first two episodes...

Yeah tbh SNW was not that great of a show after three seasons. Like I really enjoyed the first season, and the musical episode of the second was nice (I’m biased as a theatre kid), but the third season just felt like it lacked the teeth to really say anything worthwhile like the first season did or, heck, any other Star Trek show.
Now, I’ll save my reservations for SA because I’m watching the franchise in a semi-chronological order and I’m still on VOY and DS9, so I’ll watch the show when I get there (and try to avoid spoilers in the meantime), but yeah, you can’t judge a show off of two episodes.
