This show has good special effects, and Michael Burnham finally got an upgrade for her haircut. These are the only good things I can say about this show.
I don't know where to begin, so let me just list a couple of negatives..
- This show is overly dramatic.
- The writing is really bad.
- It is filled with action and noise instead of meaning
- I don't connect to the crew. Not at all.
- Who was that crew member who could stop breathing for minutes (and tells you just before it becomes relevant)? I don't even remember now, because she was not important, the focus was on Michael only
- It's as black and white as Star Wars. There are good guys and there are bad guys.
- It is supposed SCIENCE fiction. What happened to science?
- The burn and the spore drive are the most ridiculous concepts I've ever heard in science fiction.
- Humanitarianism and logic both seem to be obsolete ('look, - I forget the name - took a space walk without a suit'. Seriously?? Seeing somebody die is now a reason to make jokes??)
- Michael Burnham is a cheap version of Bruce Willes in Die Hard.
Remember Star Trek The Next Generation? It had a CREW. Every episode had its own story to tell. It has a message. There was no need for meaningless action scenes or dramatic music.
This show has no meaning, the episodes have no moral and worst of all they have no story to tell.
It's not 'cool' its just stupid and meaningless.
Please stop wasting money on it and stop insulting our intelligence.
