It kind of felt like a backdoor pilot that lasted an entire season, because Pike and the Enterprise crew were far more interesting than the rest of the show. It's kind of sad, really. Michael Burnham is just too detestable a character and Sonequa Martin-Green is, frankly, not a good enough actor to carry Discovery.
Locke is right, the writers are throwing **** at the wall and hoping it sticks. Picard unfortunately has the same problem.
