I don't have anything against the actors in Discovery, the thrust and perspective of different sexualities in the spotlight, etc. That is all good imo.
Discovery's story telling is the worst of any trek ever, by lightyears. They have tried to make a star trek Neo or some bs with Michael... The stories are all disjointed, 99% of the characters of the depth of legumes and make baffling decisions, starfleet is portrayed as wildly incompetent and without any real command structure and leadership. The obsession with the mirror universe and section 31 (UGH).
Picard is almost plagued by the same issues in writing but the familiarity and depth of characters saves it from being an abject disaster IMO. Lower decks is the best trek of this generation so far, which is a bit sad given all the money and potential here.
