Not exactly the kind of nuanced science fiction writing Star Trek has, at its best, historically represented.

I'm not sure I'd agree with the clickbait sentence "(he) is not known for critical success". Kurtzman is the executive producer of some very solid TV shows ("Hawaii Five-O", "Scorpion", "ST: Discovery", "Sleepy Hollow", "Limitless") and had a hand in "Fringe" and "Alias". The first "Transformers" wasn't bad, and he also had a hand in other stuff like "Mission Impossible 3".
