Discovery is the antithesis of Star Trek and should not bear the name. AWFUL writing, the story is stolen from a guy who makes indy games and the ST part always has to be at least 20% different from other ST. From uniforms, to story, to yeah every single detail. You want ST go see The Orville, a far more ST story and characters.
Picard is going to follow suit. Worse Stewart is going to be a secondary character in his own show. Funding was originally supposed to be from Netflix. They were so displeased with the writing they walked away, even after a rewrite. The show was cancelled and the staff laid off. They got a bargain basement deal with Amazon and went back to work after a third and now fourth rewrite and a 70% budget cut. Word has it that Word has it Picard won't isn't allowed by the franchise to don the Starfleet uniform and that Amazon is already regretting the entire deal. This was paraphrased, however the essence is correct. Lots of write ups on the mess.
