The first season of Star Trek Discovery I can only describe as awful. Like the vacuum of space it was sucked dry of the warmth and sense of hope and optimism found in the wonderful 1990's series.
It came as a relief that the writers and producers listened to fans and crafted a much improved second season. That said, the hangover from season one remains and its uncomfortably starchy militaristic vibe, has not completely dissipated.
To add to the series woes there is, of course, competition from the truly wonderful series "The Orville" which many long time fans, including myself, feel is the true successor to the older Star Trek series. Its upbeat vibe, well timed humour and its sense of optimism and thoughtful approach make it addictive viewing.
In short not a dismal addition to the Trekkie universe but one that has a long way to go to redeem itself too. 5/10 from me.
