I havent but thats fair. Some people will like it, some wont. Its for sure more like a teenage version of star trek in my opinion. What do you like about the show?

For the first 10 minutes of any episode, I completely agree. People get half naked and sexy, but it almost always seems to be within the first 10 minutes.

Then it moves on to the main plot, which is usually much more interesting.

Not op but I've been steadily enjoying it more with each episode that comes out. It's got a pretty decent cast and Holly Hunter facing down Paul Giamatti makes for some really intense scenes. It's a more hopeful version of Trek which I think is pretty nice in these times. Some of the jokes are extremely cringe but I've found myself laughing out loud at times. Oh and the plot usually makes sure to focus on the students as a crew, giving time to flesh out the large cast a decent amount.

Only real complaint I have is they could tone down the lens flares a bit.

Most of the angry reviews I've read are from people who will never be happy because of the "woke" crowd. I just instantly disregard those. Then there are people who clearly aren't paying attention when watching the episodes.

People seem to think Caleb is just another Michael Burnham but the writers clearly establish in each episode he's pretty foolish and isn't always right. The show is doing a decent job of keeping Discovery at arms length, only really referencing it like Strange New Worlds did.
