I have no horse in this race of "is it Star Trek or not" because I never watched a single episode of Star Trek in my life before this.
But where I think it started out as a fairly shiny, kind of interesting Sci-fi show, it quickly dove deep into very eyeroll-worthy grimdark territory with kind of ridiculous characters. And then happened the "kill your gays" trope, the whole "this guy was raped, and tortured and oh, he's also actually partly that Klingon dude now" (whut?) and the weird universe shift And in the end, they topped it off with an intensely anticlimactic finale, lots of very wonky and contradictory moralizing and such a high dose of pathos it would have been enough for three shows.

It's possibly worth noting that the 'weird universe shift' is pre-existing and very popular Star Trek canon, so while I can see why you thought it came of left-field, that bit was definitely Trek being Trek.

[fishnchips]

I was suspecting it was (all my knowledge of Star Trek comes from occasional gifsets people post and some popcultural osmosis).
I just really don't like those things in general (I can't stand it in comics either for example, and it's very popular in those as well). Mostly because they always end up as huge, plot-hole-y messes where too many plotlines open up and end up not or only half-heartedly resolved. (Imo, this happened to some extent in Discovery as well.)
But it's more a matter of personal taste, really. Universe shifts, like time travel etc. are usually a love it or hate it thing.

[tree_and_leaf]

That's totally fair!
