Star Trek: Discovery

The first season was ok and had a promising start but it rapidly decayed into a sappy soap opera set in the Star Trek universe. The characters in the show and the plot have all the potential needed but the continuing agony of ongoing psychology sessions (they call them episodes) is making me reconsider my future and I'll need counselling, long into the future, for having watched this. Writing this is part of my exposure therapy after season 4 where my brain was set to stun. But seriously, so disappointed that the focus was on giving out life lessons and not writing good Star Trek stories. I get it that you can have positive messages in shows, not a bad thing, but this is just way too much, at the expense of a potentially good series.

In my personal unscientific rating scale 4=Forced myself to watch to the end but didn't really enjoy and won't watch it again.

I just finished watching season 4 episode 1 and I don't know what to make of it. The show's script and dialogues feels like it's for an audience of 12 years old. The special effects are nicely done but the technology is borderline "magic" not believable.

Never have been so bored to death of hearing stupid speeches. Every 10 minutes there's a big speech about what there going in to and how important it is. Yeah yeah we got after 50th speech we didn't need another 100. Make a sci-fi program not political bull crap.

The first two seasons were awesome. Very good writing. Now with the third and especially the fourth season, the writing is horrible. Everything is overly dramatic. Pretty much every cast member annoys me now. I'm guessing the show got new writers after the second season. If that's the case, then they should have end the show there. Where did all the creativity go???

First 2 seasons I thoroughly enjoyed. (Through all seasons the constant, intense, whispered dialogue drives me nuts.)

Now everyone on the ship needing to be acknowledged for their feelings and overly emotional sense of being completely overshadows any mission.

This should be called Star Trek: Self Discovery because it's more like an aggressive HR sensitivity training seminar than anything Star Trek.

If Star Trek is what you're looking for, this isn't it. If you want a sci-fi, poorly written soap opera, this is your jam.

There's about 15-20 minutes of each episode worth watching if you're interested their actual mission. Skip skip skip
