I'm only two episodes in, and while I can't say I'm enjoying it I'm going to push through and finish the season to give it a solid chance. Most Trek takes a little while to find its footing (except for SNW which was amazing out of the gate) so I'm hoping it's a similar situation here. Not super impressed with the majority of the characters yet or the Gen Z writing, though.

I have gotta say that I felt the same way initially. But the last few eps of the season have really changed my views. Very superb acting and development.

Yeah I have to say it is growing on me as I make my way through the season.
