I actually really liked the first few episodes. Not amazing, but solid.
It’s the ones that come after that were a bit disappointing.

I know an STA hater. She only watched the first half of episode 1, and assumed the rest of the show would be equally grimdark and “federation bad”.

I think people don’t like the direction that they’re taking Star Trek in general. It was one of the few science fiction shows which was actually hopeful about the future, but the writers have decided that they can’t think of creative ways to go in that direction so they’re going to blow everything up.
It wouldn’t be so bad if it made some kind of logical sense, but they just had everything destroyed for hand wavy reasons without any basis in canon.
