Part of me feels like Discovery is too heavy-handed/borderline-cheesy with its handling of current issues, the other part of me is like "calm the hell down, this is Star Trek, and not everything needs to be gritty & Breaking Bad-esque". Looking back at the episodes as a whole now that we are in the first break, that part of me is winning out overall. It's light entertainment in the Star Trek world that is playing on my nostalgia of things like the original Star Trek and the Stargate TV series (albeit with a 'Hollywood' type SFX budget).
