I thought it was a pretty good sci-fi show, but a piss poor Trek. Just caught up with the final episode tonight, and the cliffhanger was so predictable I literally figuratively cringed.
I really enjoyed the first
mirror universe
episode, Jonathan Frakes did a decent job directing that and giving it a bit more of a Trek feel. That arc got old really quickly, though
:(
Going to watch The Orville next. I've heard many great things, mainly that it feels more like Star Trek than Star Trek.
Bootnote: People on the intertubes seem to be abbreviating Star Trek Discovery to STD. I find this quite amusing.

How is something that occurs in every other Star Trek episode, along with a
bunch of green-and-purple-hued bipedal humanoids wearing rubber masks, wigs and brandishing firearm-like weapons
, a "spoiler" ?

Oh, I do need to try The Orville. I'm catching up on Man In The High Castle just now and only have time for one at a time, but I'll try.
The very first Frakes episode had its moments but I was already irritated by so many characters that I didn't care. I'm actually pleased I was able to recognise the signs in time to not waste more time actually watching the thing.

A lot of characters grated, for sure. I probably wouldn't have got past episode 2 if I did have a week in bed with flu. It definitely improved after around episode 4, but overall it's a cack Trek.
I haven't even started Man in the High Castle yet. Only finished Breaking Bad over xmas

I have managed to watch the first 3 so far but I have found little reason to continue, as you said, life is too short!
