No. First one was semi-decent, but Jar Jar's Trek is pretty much rubbish for me. Not saying they are particularly bad as standalone creations, they are just utterly crappy as Trek.
And STD is Jar Jar's Trek through and through...and given that its lead is someone that annoyed me to no end in Walking Dead for her terrible acting (which only continues in STD), makes it all the worst.
Star Trek had its ups and downs over decades, but for me this is absolutely lowest point ever...and yes, I'm an old fart, but this old fart grew up on original Galactica as well and liked new BSG quite a bit...so no, it's not the case of "olden days were better", it's just this is simply not proper Trek for me.
But, as I said, I'll keep watching Orville, at least it tries to be faithful to Gene's Trek (no matter how bad the casting is) and hope that STD ends up like Star Gate: Universe...canceled...sometimes it's simply better not to have anything new in franchise then to piss randomly on it.
