I refused to watch it because I couldn't stand the main character tbh. For someone who was supposed to be in what is essentially the space navy, michael sure was an insubordinate POS. Maybe it got better but I couldn't sit through more than 2 episodes.
Honestly the disrespect for the command structure shown in a lot new trek stuff is why I have such a hard time watching it.
Don't get me wrong, I was furious with Michael almost the whole way through!
I think they were trying to tell us the story of someone that struggled with starfleet principles but ends up finding their way and becoming a great captain, but she just pissed the fans off.
She did get a bit better, I now give her a pass because she told her boyfriend that if starfleet told her to she would just kill him.
She's still the least suitable captain of any show though, in my opinion.
Good to know she's insufferable for most of the show. I don't think I want to give it another crack lol.
I didn't mind some of the stuff that came out Strange New Worlds, and I enjoyed S3 of Picard way more than I thought. I'm hoping this ends up just being a case of really really bad growing pains for star trek. TNG's first 2 seasons were pretty crap, but it got way better eventually. Maybe new trek will continuing improving
