About
If you want bold, modern sci-fi with nonstop tension and wide character variety, you may enjoy Star Trek: Discovery, but Not for you if you want Star Trek to stay optimistic and lighter, like The Orville or Star Trek: Picard.
Pros: imaginative sci-fi ideas; strong character focus; big-screen feel | Cons: feels unlike Star Trek; bleak tone; uneven pacing
