You seem more invested in criticizing it than trying to enjoy yourself.
I also didn't say the first season was bad, i liked it. Theres stuff to criticize but SAM quickly became a fav character, as the actress is quite good. The episode where they hyperbolic time-chambered her in order to make her emotionally resilient was quite good, sort of an inverse to the Lal episode in TNG.
There was stuff to criticize and maybe you just really didn't like it. Thats fair, opinions about a new star trek show are purely subjective and that is OK. But TV just isnt as good as it used to be, in part because of the shorter seasons, and changes to the industry from streaming. And it wasnt actually that long ago, not for me at least. So idk what to tell ya champ. Starfleet academy was a little rough but that doesn't mean I think a show is allowed to be straight ass for 100 episodes before it gets good. I think star trek shows, the ones we love, weren't perfect either in their first seasons. Ben Sisko was just straight up weird at first, Picard was a total dick. Lieutenant Yar was not a great actress (she was much better when she came back briefly in s3), Whorf's make up looked stupid and bad.
Certain things about the production cycles of shows do change over time. A show can get better writers, the actors can get better in their roles, more viewers mean better budgets and pay. Some shows start out good and then quickly decline. I'd rather have 6 seasons of a show that started out rough but got better after 1-2 seasons, than something that starts good but starts to suck after season 1 and gets canceled in 2-3 seasons.
