I guess I should watch season 5 if I have access to it. It is ok, the premise of each season can be a bit absurd. The crew also has a bit of a "Mary Sue" problem. If a 150-pound woman engages in hand-to-hand combat with a big burly manly man, the smart money is on the woman mopping up the floor with him without breaking a sweat. They are trying really hard to manufacture character flaws for Michael Burnham, but she's still the golden girl.

Strange New Worlds is my Star Trek of choice. It pays more homage to Star Trek tradition.
