Star Trek
Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!
I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.
Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.
No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.
No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.
No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.
Please keep topics Trek related or Trek adjacent for the most part, and have fun!

You should skip it because it leans harder and harder into the things you don't like in a Star Trek show.
I watched the first two episodes to give it a chance. Only kept watching it because my wife wanted to watch it together. Made it to the end of season 3 before she lost interest.
A few ensemble characters were memorable, but the writers did a terrible job of making the main character's arc understandable or plausible. A character who doesn't follow the rules either needs to be right most of the time to show they are a foil for authority's mistakes or learn they aren't as smart as they think they are by facing consequences. Michael just ignored orders and failed up the whole time while learning nothing. She did get motional about it, but didn't actually change her behavior. The actress did a fine job with what she had to work with, I blame the writing.
Since the main character's story is the primary focus of nearly every episode, this really dragged down the side character stories, which were mostly good to great.
