This is one of my biggest gripes about this season. There's only been one episode this entire season that wasn't Burnham centric, and in that one she still ended up deus ex machina saving everyone. Like with the other ST at least I could name all of the other bridge crew but with Disco its Burnham is space Jesus and everyone else is a minor support character. Worse part is they writers know it, explicitly stated the viewers complaints in multiple episodes, and just found ways to rub it in our faces on screen, like when they first reached Federation headquarters and were getting debriefed by the Admiral, or when they mentioned Burnham has a saviour complex, etc.
Even if you are on board with the Burnham show you at least have to be annoyed that she's shown basically no character growth on her 3 season arc. She still going to disobey orders whenever she gets the chance and force everyone, on the crew that she supposedly cares about, scrambling to adjust to her rash decisions whenever she feels like like with the recent Ni'Var thing. She also overacts way too much. She's crying or in some sort of emotional crisis of her own doing every single episode. Just getting to be a bit much.
