    The only good thing about this show is that someone somewhere agreed to spend money on a new Trek show.

    So there is hope, that after this destroys the franchise for 20 years, we will perhaps get a real Trek show again.

    I can only review the first 2 episodes, because that's all that has aired so far. As someone who has enjoyed Star trek since TNG and has basically watched every episode since then at least twice, I am qualified to say that Star Trek: Discovery really isn't a Star Trek series.

As someone who has enjoyed Star trek since TNG and has basically watched every episode since then at least twice, I am qualified to say that Star Trek: Discovery really isn't a Star Trek series. It has been "2017'd" - meaning it has lots of padded sequences, poor and pointless dialogue, juvenile conflict between characters that are supposed to be professional star trek officers, and the show's writers seem to value shock value at times - all evidence of the 2017 tv show formula. Star Trek is supposed to look forward - it has got to be better than this, and treat it's audiences with some respect.

    Seeing as Enterprise started it's season with a Klingon arc, and has already explored these early Klingon-era stories quite well before, doing it yet again feels like the series is going over well-explored territory already. The Next Generation had the best Kligon focused stories, and DS9 even went to war with them. Honestly, what is there left to do?

    The show's special effects are quite amazing, but that's honestly the only thing that's really going for it. I'll take the rich characters, deeper plots and intrigue from DS9 over this any day.

    Maybe I shouldn't be too critical - most Star Trek series have started fairly poor after all - but the acting and direction is very clear here... it's almost as if I can predict the tone for the rest of the series, just because I've seen it all before with other modern tv shows. Uninspiring to be sure, and very disappointing.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I made it to 13 episodes. I really tried to like it. The problem is that apart from Jason Isaacs performance as the captain, this show really has nothing going for it. It tries to mix a dark and gritty tone with characters that are mostly starry-eyed idealists, and what you end up with is a whole lot of boring with a side of non-sensical writing. *spoilers below*

    As I said, Jason Isaacs character was the lone bright spot for me. It felt fresh to have a daredevil sort of captain who didn't shy away from hard choices, even morally ambigious ones, if thats what it took to win the war against the Klingons. The grittiness and tone of the story matched his character perfectly. He was a warrior captain surrounded by sheep, and it was kind of amazing to see him rally Discovery to several big victories against the Klingon.

    Unfortunately, you only get a couple episodes of this, as the show goes into this ridiculous parallel universe plotline wherein its revealed Isaac's character is the main villain, and then is killed off. This all happens in one episode, Episode 13 to be exact.

    With the sole compelling character in the show killed off, I don't see a reason to keep watching. The story is ridiculous, the remaining characters are either boring or spend most of their time barreling from one emotional breakdown to another. Doug Jones is decent as Saru, but he can't carry the show alone.

    This show fails as Star Trek, but perhaps worse, it fails as good sci-fi.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is so bad it is unbelievable. I have stomached up to episode 7, and can literally take no more. The story-lines are so unbelievable and tired. Right off the top of my head here are some issues that come to mind that give you an idea of what to expect. Episode 7 involves a time loop. The script is so drawn out it is hard to actually watch it because it is irritatingly stupid. How about just destroying the creature before it gets on the ship, which would completely fix the problem? Instead they go about some convoluted response involving DANCING!!! Another stupid example of inconsistencies among the dozens I've encountered that ruin it is the fact that in this version of Star Trek you can't transport people if they have no vitals. But shortly before using this to ramp up the plot they transported a bomb?

    The show has way too much romance. Every chance the writers get they throw love scenes or platitudes about how humanity can be soooo much better if it wasn't for all the bad people. The Klingons look fake and nothing like traditional Klingons. When they do show Klingons, they use subtitles that scroll so fast you can't actually think about the implication of what you are reading.

    The actors are okay. Not great, but mediocre. Passable. But the writers are trying so hard to put SJW and PC nonsense into the scrip that it has totally ruined the show. IT IS HORRIBLE!!

    About CBS all access. You will regret the fee they require, simply because there is nothing worthwhile on CBS. The owners thought they had the greatest idea since sliced bread: Use a tried and true franchise (Start Trek) to draw loyal fans who wouldn't be able to help but pay a fee. Everyone was going to get rich, until it turned out the show was unwatchable.
    The Initial season opener wasn't too bad, but trust me, it goes down hill rapidly. I'd definitely wager a bet that Orville lasts longer than Discovery, by a WIDE margin. Two seasons of Discovery at the VERY max. #startrekdiscovery killed the franchise.    … Expand

The credit I will give this show is the acting is top notch. And the allowed budget clearly allows this show to go where no show has gone before. But the plot and story are abysmal. The science is ridiculous. The characters themselves, while expertly played, are very cliche and difficult to relate to.

    The first episode actually starts out great. I loved the dynamic between characters on the Shenzhou. Captain Georgiu had a very refined vibe. I was looking forward to seeing how the crew developed. That vibe was rudely interrupted by Klingons who look and sound more like orcs from Lord of the Rings. So much for human relatability of the Klingons. They've somehow devolved into savage tribesmen.

    Here are the main pros of Discovery:
    - Great sets and costumes
    - Great cinematography
    - Great use of special effects
    - Acting talent isn't that bad

    Main cons:
    - Waaaaaay too grim dark. There's no space opera here. It's grittier than beach sand.
    - Too melodramatic. Where's the positivity that was characteristic of previous Star Trek shows?
    - Klingons who are LotR orcs.
    - There's a lot of scenes where they show federation officers doing things like beer pong, or dropping f-bombs. This makes no sense, given the fact that Star Fleet officers are held to a higher standard, and shouldn't be drunk when they're expected to be fighting a war.
