Apart from the break neck pace and continual twists and turns, I didn't mind the first season. The glossed over war is good and bad to me. I would have liked to see the actual war, one of the driving forces of the whole season, fleshed out in a way that made it more meaningful. At the same time, I'm a guy who actually liked Star Trek The Motion Picture, so I'm anxious for something more traditional Trek. With the war over, there might be a few more episodes like that going forward (but far less than other series, given the tone Discovery is setting).
Burnham is a slightly frustrating character, but I've really started to like Saru, Stamets, and Tilly.
