It's ok, not the most gripping series I've watched. If they dropped it, I wouldn't be bothered.

We've liked it so far. Something the family can watch together. Though the flashback "interigation" bits confused the 9 yr old.
Tryig to find a family series on netfix or a series thats not dark and moody is getting more difficult. Netflix turning emo/ goth?

Its a 15 rated its said the f word and sworn and latest episode had a flashback of alien sex rape - your version of family entertainment is definitely different from mine.
I now pre watch them and skip the bits that are not suitable - FWIW i am fairly certain it started out as a 12 till the last episode even with the swearing but Dr Who or like the other instalments/definitely family suitable it is not
Still enjoying it though

I'm still lukewarm about Discovery. Despite the billing and Sonequa Martin-Green and Anthony Rapp both being absolutely outstanding, the script writing leaves much to be desired, particularly where the Klingons are concerned.
TBH I expected a lot more, especially with people like Nicholas Meyer onboard.

Are we watching the same series, she is mediocre at best and has the most weird running style I've ever seen....

It was undecided after the first couple of episodes but its gradually grown on me. A few things still grate like Saru - hes just annoying and I'm still not convinced by the Klingon make over, especially the way they murrrrderrrrrrrr evvvverrrry sylabbbbbbllllle.
But overall I've enjoyed it

As for the language. You hear worse at school pick up, in a family pub or out shopping. Other than that he has enjoyed, if not understood all of it.
Strangley he was more scared of doctor who than star trek.Posted 1 month ago # -
Well that ended abruptly. Only 9 episodes? Or has the series been split into two parts? The next episode is being shown on the 9th January

Yep. That's the mid-season break. Quite common with US TV series.

If my hunch is right then that's not what those flashbacks showed.

American scheduling, two 9 episode half seasons with a big 'ol gap in the middle.

Ah well, at least it ended on an exciting note! Very Voyager-y

Sonequa Michael Burnham is in general rubbish as an actor. And agree about the running (the director/dir. Of photography should also shot for allowing it through).
And in the last episode (SPOILER) WHEN THE guy runs really fast....speeding up the frame rates is just not acceptable.

The problem with having Saru running is that the actor has to wear weird shoes that would prevent him from really doing so. He also has a really strange walking gait as a result.

Well, it was doing quite well, got me interested even though I don't really like Trek, then tonight's episode - wtf? Somehow managed to jump the shark during Christmas.

Watched last night and found myself surfing on the phone. Got properly bored.

Watched around five or six of them but found it very frustrating.
I must have been spoiled by high-quality hour-long TV dramas which take their time unfolding a complex story with rich characterisation.
These feel really rushed, fast-forwarding over huge plot points and using only broad brush strokes on most of the characters.
Very telling that I found the science stuff annoying as well, because I don't normally care if the sci bit of sci-fi is nonsense.
