It's okay but i stopped watching in the first season. My main impressions were "well at least it feels like star trek again" but most of the stories were kinda meh and one of the better ones they just ripped from The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas (but iirc libbed up because did they even do anything? Did they just leave that kid in the torment nexus because uhh noninterventionism? I don't remember but thought it was weak shit)
and i cannot stress enough how much I do not ever need to see another "it's a submarine battle.... in SPACE!!" episode of Star Trek, christ, it's the episode that never ends
You're doing yourself a disservice, what Trek series has a great first season?
I love how Captain Freeman in Lower Decks (I think S2E1) talks about how she's annoyed by Starfleet's "policy of some intervention". Humanizes her while also calling out some prior Trek writers' occasional inadvertant-cruelty moments.
