Watch it without reading any critic reviews first, is my opinion. (When I watched Enterprise, it just so happened my opinions aligned with other people’s complaints. I am glad I watched it first though.)

Things that people found divisive, I really didn’t. Some changes probably caught everyone off guard, hence the major controversy of season 1, but at least it was plausible that the change could align with the rest of the Star Trek universe in some way. Maybe.

Like most other new shows, it can be a bit rocky as the writers develop the story and underlying theme.
