What?

One explores a wide range of hard hitting social issues wrapped up in classic episodic sci-fi short stories, and the other has a magic crying space baby and flying on tardigrades through mushrooms in space.

Discovery has lots of cringe, but I find that very realistic, because most people IRL are super cringe as well.

The characters were never the problem with Disco, the writing was the problem.
