Agreed. She's a flipping Mary Sue and it's painful.

I'm not sure I'd go quite that far, but making her Spock's secret human sister makes it an easy accusation to make (and harder than it ought to be to defend against). That was the plot of so many bad self-insert fanfics, a cursory google would have told the producers that. They started the character with a stale premise, at best, or a bad joke of one at worst. It is hard to recover from that. And it was a very bad idea to have her act against Jason Isaacs in her first season too; it is no fault of Isaacs', but he has such a huge amount of charisma and is such a natural actor that he completely overshadowed her.

I do agree with this. The show got better after the first season. She got more interesting, and Isaacs wasn't there to overshadow her. I adore Isaacs. I'll watch him in anything. He's an amazing actor. But he was just too good an actor in this case.

Everything about her character and the plots of the first season screamed Mary Sue to me, not just the awful awful Spock's secret sister thing.

I don't go here but isn't she the lead character

Yes?

Well, it always seems really difficult to me to call the lead character of something a Mary Sue
