Discovery season one was hot garbage, but I thought the second season was much improved, although that was likely the Captain Pike factor more than anything. Burnham can be a little annoying but I sure don't share some of stronger opinions about her some have expressed in this thread.
Having watched Picard twice through now I've come to the conclusion that Star Trek doesn't work as a ten-episode, ten-hour arc. DS9 worked because the serial continued from season to season and really took its time with both the plot and making sure all the different characters had a good share of screen time. In the 10-episode, 10-hour format nothing ever has to be resolved until the end and by then there is no way the payoff will be worth it because there is so much stuff that happened that makes no sense.
Hopefully the Captain Pike show is episodic, and not a huge, limp arc.
