I encourage you to watch it and form your own opinion (just make sure to get past the first ten minutes of the pilot, the tone shifts dramatically).
Captain Ake runs the Academy and commands the Academy ship, the Athena, which is used to do more hands on training but isn’t the flagship by any stretch. She’s more like a principal than a professor. The other main characters are cadets, with some strong supporting characters too.
IMO it’s the first live action Trek show in the new era to come out firing on all cylinders and it’s great to see.

The Academy is a fully-functional starship, so she’s both the captain and the chancellor. She’s 500 years old, is a bit of a hippy, and is happy to lounge around when they’re not facing a crisis.

Jimmmy Kirk lounged around when there was a crisis so I don’t know what these people are upset about

Riker happily slapped his ass down in the weapons console so he could chat up the prettiest subordinate on duty. Not sure why we’re suddenly supposed to be pretending Trek ever maintained a stern and solemn work environment.

It’s so odd how these criticisms are only directed at women…

Data’s face here is like “Commander, you have targeted the warp nacelles on the Reliant and are preparing to fire.”
