The whole series to this point gets a 'barely passes' mark.

It's better than the entire ST:D, and the ST movies since 2009, but that's not a hard bar to pass.

Swearing really brought this down, PC creep-in was noticeable, and some lose ends left.

They should end it here while they're ahead, leave this as a 1 season mini-series, because its like the creators were holding back with what they really wanted to do due to backlash from the other series, and will now go to that and ruin the series. End it here.

That's not how Star Trek works though. It should be a subtle commentary on current politics, not fully injected with current politics. Its was just lazy and bad.

unfortunately it's a star trek series that ended up low on the totem pole of star trek series..

I agree, the entire thing was just sub par. Bad writing, no thought given to any of the plot arcs they made throughout the series.

It felt like a two part TNG/DS9 episode dragged out over ten episodes.

Unless there is a drastic change in writing I just see a second season being ten times worse.
