I’m an die hard Trekkie and really wanted to like the show, but I the entire series revolves around one character that ends up destroying everything. We don’t get to fully explore all the supporting character personalities. Instead the show is all about Michael Burnham, making her some sort of superhero all-powerful semi-goddess. Don't get me wrong she's a great actress, but she show should be called "Michael Burnham," not Star Trek at this point. It's all about her.
2 big gripes:
1. Michael Burnham cries in every damn episode and she is the focus of everything, taking a lead ahead of Spock. Seriously, it’s beyond annoying and I want to stop watching. Too much drama, about this one character. Please cut off the waterworks! I fast forward all scenes where she cries. We'd love to see other characters development, not all about her.
2. Shaky camera: TERRIBLE! Why do some directors in this day and age still think having a “shaky camera” is good cinematography? It makes some viewers dizzy, and detracts from the show. It doesn't look "fast paced," it looks sloppy.
Would never watch this show again, like I have with all the other Star Trek series. It left me with no life lessons, nothing to think about, and a hungry void where I was expecting to learn something from their fantastic adventures.
