@defestated "As a HUGE trek fan who's also not up my own arse" - sadly there are far too many of those; you only need look at most of the comments here, or on the Picard and Discovery pages.
@2ls1t oh tell me about it. I saw a picard post on Facebook and people were absolute trolls and saying it was slow and boring and that patrick shouldn't of been in it or not named Picard when that was the WHOLE point....Had to argue with a lot of people who it turns out only watch some of the shows and had a very narrow view of the franchise. Everyone can have their own opinion but some of them were crazy stupid.
@defestated I agree people will differ, quite rightly, over whether they enjoy these latest franchise installments but their reasons often stem from the same root. It's really rather tedious, especially as a lot of it (especially with Discovery and to a lesser extent with Picard) comes from right-wing, anti 'anything that isn't straight white and male'. Like, just admit you're a 'bigot' and save us all some time, lol.

As a HUGE trek fan who's also not up my own arse I gave it a go as I'll always watch anything Trek. It started off rocky but I've found the in jokes, the things shown/talked about they you never see in normal trek and the nods to everything trek to be highly amusing. If you take this more as a rick and morty meets star trek it's pretty enjoyable you just had to take it for what it is rather than a classic trek.
As an update to this after 2 seasons and very much looking forward to the third. Season 1 was good but Season 2 really brought the A game, the writing, the guests, the easter eggs and biggest of all CETACEAN OPERATIONS was excellent. This is easy one of my favourite feel good shows now
