Since I have a free trial of Crave for a couple more weeks before I need to cancel to avoid paying for it, I've started watching Star Trek: Discovery. It's pretty good (although I find most of the Klingon scenes weird and kind of annoying), but it doesn't quite have that "Trek" feel (neither did Enterprise, IMO, but it's even less present here).
Also, this is a minor nit, but dropping an F-bomb in Star Trek just seems weird, even if it was totally appropriate and makes sense for the characters.

There are a lot of other little nits I could pick, but others have already done so. Basically, it's a decent show but probably not enough for me to pay for Crave once my trial period ends. If I don't manage to burn through the first two seasons before then, I'll probably shrug and not bother to finish it.
Maybe it gets better later, though, in which case I could see maybe paying for Crave for one month a year, to binge each new season once it's finished airing.

I imagine this is similar to what people in the US feel about CBS All Access. It's mostly crap and making the new Trek shows exclusive to this streaming platform isn't enough to make it worth subscribing.
Mostly, I just wish it was on Netflix in Canada, as is the case in the entire rest of the world outside of the US and Canada.
(OK, Crave is better than CBS, but not enough that I'm willing to pay for it at this point; maybe if Netflix starts to go downhill...)
