Depends on what you disliked about it.
But imo season 3 is where the series grows it’s beard.

Has the writing gotten any better?

I just realized I meant to say 4. 3 was kinda fun actually. But dang, this whole opener of 4 with the “butterfly-people” and soap opera style banter during and post fight was just too much. I really liked the protagonist in early seasons but now everything just seems so campy.

I thought season four was amazing. I personally love scifi with big alien weirdness and was very happy to see a Trek series do that, an avenue it doesn’t usually go down. I am probably the only person who loved Disco’s season one style of Klingons because they felt legit alien. It’s one thing to do diplomacy with drunk space vikings, but the prospect of finding common ground with the totally unrelatable Klingons in Season one was scary and exciting.

My exact question. I saw season 1 when it aired but life happened and I never came back to watch the other seasons. Tbh i thought it was over at this point.
Anyone wanna give me the motivation to binge the next four seasons? Did the show mature?

It never quite finds its grove.
Season 1, 2 & 3 all had fantastic premises I would have loved 7 seasons of but were all unrelated and concluded within a season.
Season 4 actually demonstrates the missed opportunity, they deal with the fall out of season 3
For example if you think of the scene set in "A Vulkan Hello", you would have ended up with an Action focussed version of DS9.
You didn't need a spore drive, Jason Isaacs could have stayed the same and we could still have watched scientists struggle to become soliders with the war causing the type of fall out we see in Season 4.

Thank you for taking the time to give me a take from the other perspective! I’m glad you enjoyed it regardless (or at least it sounds like you did to some degree)
It is a shame each season is self contained tho

And then everyone watching it (which, unlike what you might think from reading this thread, is actually millions of people) would get super pissed when it got cancelled in the middle of a storyline.

Yesn’t?
It kinda improved but it’s also Star Trek discovery still so your mileage will depend on how you feel about that.

Loved the show in season 1-2 but it has been such a camp-fest since s3 I stopped following …
seananigans@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Oh really? Then I’m going to guess you won’t like it since it has changed and kept changing.

This is important; there’s a distinct feel to the narrative, performances and dialogue that the other series def don’t have and kinda maintains through all four (soon to be five) seasons.
