What's not to like so far? There has been some great plot twists. A Joffrey like captain who is hell bent on war as diplomacy with the Klingon empire. Great special effects, interesting stories and a crew trying to do the right thing given many adversities, personal conflicts and crew to crew conflict.
If anything the show should be criticized for poaching some plot lines from Game of Thrones, but it's been rather exciting to watch. It's not the slow plodding Star Trek's of the past, but once we knew TNG and that series developed it was the same. They finished on a movie quality note. This series has started out that way. I wonder how they will keep it up.
I quite enjoy watching the Klingons talking in their language and their way of thinking. I agree their appearance re-imagination isn't spot on, but their tech and costumes makeup for it.
Series has progressed well.
