I am a massive Star Trek fan and have seen all the programs, been to conventions etc. etc. blah blah blah.
The problem everyone seems to have with this show is that it's not like the previous ones. This is ridiculous.
It's almost like the DS9 Gamma Quadrant war arc to compare it to an "old" show (although I watched TNG onwards weekly when they aired). Otherwise a good comparison would be that this is the Dark Knight to the original Batman TV series.
It's modern, dark, edgy, very well written and has phenomenal acting. It takes Star Trek somewhere different which is interesting!

I can only assume that the other reviewers are not used to the concept of behind the scenes shows. Many shows do this in the UK (e.g. Bake Off Extra Slice, Big Brother's Little Brother and Strictly Extra.) and the format is usually much more twee and ridiculous.
I find it extremely interesting to hear the concepts behind production, the actors views on playing the various scenes, the discussions with the writers etc.
Of course the actors are going to big up the show and praise each other - they're proud of what they've made! It's no different from a panel at a Star Trek convention. Matt is also a trekkie through and through which is why he's so into the show and gives it so much praise.
If you want to know more about the production of Star Trek Discovery from the source and get to know the actors behind the camera then this is perfect.
