My Review

So I'm going through a re-watch of Discovery. I think I appreciated it more the second time through. My original complaint was that it didn't feel like Star Trek The Next Generation, which is what I grew up with. But upon reflection, I think the Discovery crew also has a strong moral compass and are doing the right thing, even when it's hard or against the rules.

Honestly, I think the thing giving me that feeling is there is more like personal drama. The personal drama between Burnham and Tyler for example just has no equivalent to TNG. Picard and Beverly had a relationship but Discovery explores these types of relationships in a much deeper and focused way. 3.5 and I'll allow it to round up to 4.

@michaelharley They also produced a season of television that looked at the harmful effects of xenophobia from all angles in the year 2017. One of the most relevant topics, then and now.
