Recently watched the first season, and I must say I wholeheartedly agree with
@genero81. As a Trekkie I went into it with very low expectations, anticipating SJWism galore, stupid clichés and superficial moralization and all that. But no! Better than DS9 indeed, IMHO!
Yes, there are some diversity casts (and even the Klingons have diversity and gender equality now
), but to be honest, I'm tired of freaking out about it, because the characters are just great. In fact, I like every one of them! And the general plot is really cool and multi-faceted, plus the subplots are delicious for Star Trek fans - diplomatic entanglements, time loops, holo decks, Vulcans, Klingons... Also, some nice references to the Trekkie universe for those who notice such things :)
The only beef I have with Star Trek in general is its materialistic/science-worshipping subtext, but hey, at least they have telepathy and quantum weirdness.
So for this one I'd say don't get fed up about diversity, and just enjoy the great characters - and hands down the best Star Trek I've watched since DS9, movies included.
(Perhaps I just like it so much because I had such low expectations, don't know...)
Edit: Just realized that I haven't finished the first season yet, so if there are some annoying turns yet to come, I don't know them...
