tl;dr ST Discovery is doing well in the ratings, despite cancellation being announced already.
Especially considering it’s only on Paramount+.
Lorca got me through discovery for a season or two and then he was gone, I don’t think I watched anything beyond it. I hear it’s only gotten worse, somehow
For me the first season was arguably one of the worst. I didn’t start enjoying it until around S3 with the time jump, but it’s been hit or miss since then. I just can’t stand how, for lack of a better word, sappy the show can be with the constant “cut to crewperson’s face giving an approving nod while Burnham gives a motivational, whispered speech backed by heartwarming music.” It all seems so over the top, lazy, and gimmicky. Rather than write better stories, they want to pull on your heartstrings with cheap tropes to keep people watching.
