I could not be less interested in STD at this stage. Unless the twist is that the entire show is actually Spock's nightmare, I don't think there's anything that can salvage it, even based on what I've seen so far.
The main character alone already takes it to almost breaking point, shoe-horning in some random made up connection to Spock/Sarek (because that worked so well for TFF), creating a seemingly incredibly dull and unrelatable character for an actor coming off a role a lot of people already disliked, but at least they're patting themselves on the back for diversity (which is great and all, but it doesn't automatically make for a good show).
The designs are wrong out of necessity or just because some first time designer wants to follow the latest Hollywood trend, which if they had any respect for the franchise would have been reason enough to rethink the entire idea. They wanted to have their cake and eat it too setting it near TOS, but ended up with the worst of both worlds.
Half of the people involved have either bailed or been fired at various points in production, and many accounts have backed up how much of a mess the whole production has been.
If this show is even mediocre, it will be a miracle.
Is this strictly a CBS.com view? Or is there another service streaming it?
I believe it's on CBS' streaming service in the US, and Netflix everywhere else, with the first episode to air on regular TV.
