I would say that after the first episode I thought this new Trek iteration looks promising. A little slow to build but that's to be expected to set up the story line. HOWEVER, after Picard sits down with the Admiral in episode 2 and she drops the F bomb--with my 4, 8 and 11 year old watching--I was turned off. The M rating is one reason why I'm not interested in Trek Discovery and for some reason the producers seem to think an M rating will result in better ratings? Not for me and my house. If they cleaned things up a bit to give it a TV14 rating I could give this a 4 star rating. But watching a Trek show shouldn't be like watching sailors talk. This only distracts from the show and it's sad that they've decided to go this route for such a once great franchise. Picard himself even looks a little out of place with the Admiral's remark. You would never see him speak that course in any previous Trek. Sad.
