I love the premise, I love the characters, I love the storyline (through episode 11, at least...). I don't love the Klingons but I can let that go. Yeah, canon issues with tech and so on, but that happens when you're shooting a show in 2016 based on something from the 1960s.

I was expecting this super preachy social justice show that was really pretty but empty under the surface, but what I've seen is a dark, mature take on star trek with a pretty damned compelling story.

I like it more than Picard, so far.

Hmm...you might have sold me on it.
