Pleasantly surprised, especially since it's coming out after the disappointing third season of SNW and set in the far future time period from Discovery.

It feels like a live action Prodigy, which should be taken as a compliment. The captain is that mix of chaos and principle that makes the best Starfleet officers, and the kids are a fun bunch. The in-universe context is a Starfleet in the process of recovering from a time of Adults In The Room and Hard Choices, which is portrayed as having been very bad and not cool.

Also the ship/school is pretty.

I quit somewhere into the first episode, I'm not usually a negative nelly but my eyes glazed over within minutes when it established this was taking place in Trek's own post-post apocalyptic era. I don't like the Discovery plot threads at all and don't care for the post-Burn setting.

It will probably be binged down the line when all the episodes are released, but, gosh, yeah, I don't know why they keep trying to write dark, gritty and Very Bad and Not Cool stories into the universe built to explore post-scarcity, enlightened humans

It's specifically about how the dark and gritty era was a mistake
