It started off ok.

It did but to have the entire federation brought to its knees by an angsty Kelpien was just utterly ridiculous and I wanted to smash my TV when I saw that plot line unfold.

Loved some of the characters - like Tilly - but the storyline just got worse and worse and worse.

That ridiculous plot line where Tilly made Captain.

She was first officer not captain. Not that it’s better lol

Yeah Saru has her as first officer (for a few episodes) because she inspires hope in people (which is true, but dumb), but there was probably a dozen other crew members that had way more experience.

First season was kinda meh, the end of the Klingon war was down right stupid. Second season of Discovery was significantly better, mostly thanks to Pike, Spock and Number One in it. Third season was great! They managed to conjure up some interesting future tech and we have a cat as a cast member again!

I actually really like a lot of S1, they seemed to be going for something really interesting with good social commentary, but it fell apart I guess when they changed showrunners and I agree the end is pretty dumb.

S2 is good if you don't think about the logic of what they're doing too much, or ignore how it's completely devoid of any point.

S3 is good but again with a stupid ending.

S4 has a couple of decent episodes and I actually think they nailed the ending for the most part, I like how it's basically Star Trek: Arrival. But it's also maybe the most boring season of the show so far.
