Considering my age, it's clear this series wasn’t really intended for people like me. I’ve been watching Star Trek since the late 1960s, so I can accept that to a degree, but honestly, it isn’t very well executed either. There’s a relaxed, almost careless quality to everything, and Holly Hunter's performance is a prime example of this.

I'll admit, I approached this with low expectations, and those were certainly met. It’s another example of that trendy, socially conscious science fiction that just doesn’t work, and it feels like a missed opportunity to try something different. The audience reception on Discovery seems to confirm that this isn’t a winning combination. There are some good points though; the visuals are stunning—the CGI is truly to…
