Well I'm out. Not only is it impossible to imagine a show with less fidelity to Star Trek - angsty, cynical, grimdark - it's just badly written. The pacing is leaden. The dialog full of cackhanded exposition. It's trying to be adult, but the premise is boilerplate YA, with the misunderstood protagonist being ostracized as the new kid in school. We're supposed to believe a crew of military and science professionals has the social climate of school anime - all snark and sarcasm and sneering. Did I mentioned the leaden pacing?
I guess we'll see how far top-notch production values and the name recognition of a popular franchise can carry a show. I give it two seasons.
