The first season was fun. The second and third seasons were a fantasy soap opera almost totally divorced from what makes Star Trek great.

The third season was where we saw the TNG level of writing for the first time since TNG. The admiral speeches and negotiations with the chain are magnificent.

edit: my poor spelling.

Hear hear!

The admiral was great; Michael and other characters crying/shouting almost constantly were not. They are supposed to be the best of the best, yet they behaved like whiny teenagers.

I believe that they were interns fresh out of the academy so they _are_ teenagers that were thrown into war.

No excuse for Michael though, she really put me off.

To their credit they did joke about get behaviour in season 3.

Maybe you are right, but god was she annoying.

On the other hand, I really loved Saru. Getting him replaced as captain... I don't know if I want to watch season 4 :/
