how's strange new worlds been? it was okay at first but I dropped interest when the best episode they did just ripped off The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas and then they did another fuckin' submarine-war-in-space episode with the gorn which always bores me to absolute death
It has hits and misses.
This season, for example, had at the conclusion to a Gorn cliffhanger (which it sounds like you wouldn't have enjoyed) immediately followed by "Trelane crashes a wedding" which I personally thought was one of the better episodes to come out of this generation of Star Trek. But that was followed by "space zombies/silent hill" which I was unimpressed with.
It is very uneven, they tone shift without a clutch. Overall I'm happy with it, but I'm a little piggy who will happily consume most Star Trek slop, including whatever they're doing with this new series set in Starfleet academy.
I tapped out after 3 episodes. The dialogue and characterization was like a hideous west wing/marvel mashup.
