Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad?

I really liked parts of it…from themes to characters…but found it really hard to sit through, most of the time. They had a really annoying way of rehashing everything that happened, after-the-fact…as if we needed to be constantly reminded about details that were literally from ten minutes ago.
It reminded me of the dialogue formats used in cheesy Mexican telenovelas. You can’t mention someone’s name, without also including a brief description of who they are related to, and what they’ve previously done. No one talks like that in real life. Especially when the person you’re talking to, was right there with you when that event took place.
If you remove all the superfluous dialogue, then the actual length of each episode, was less than 20 minutes.
