Potential interesting premiss, but -like many modern TV-shows- killed by very annoying and bad cinematography. Why all the extreme close-ups and Parkinson like shots? Got motion sickness after watching the first episode. Good cinematography starts with letting the viewer NOT notice there's a camera at work.
Unlike most reviewers, I liked the different, somewhat chaotic approach of the first episodes of ST-Discovery. After all, nobody was waiting for a modernized rerun of the outdated The Next Generation (I watched all ST series multiple times).
But the last episodes went from weak to worse, and the final episode really destroyed everything. Typical 'American ending', totally unbelievable 'feel good', already weak acting Klingons became outright morons, and then an awful, almost unwatchable 'heil the sacred Federation' speech... just outright terrible! As if the script writers intentional chose the worst possible ending they could come up with.
There will be a second season, but ST-Discovery seems beyond repair. Maybe the new androgynic pre-school generations will like it after all, who knows. Times have changed, but not for the better.
