Started watching it on Pluto and only in the first season but I’m liking it. I’ve seen random episodes here and there and my dad rented the movie once it was available at blockbuster. Plus it’s cool to see a show with Air Force members as an Air Force vet. I assume since it ended before the woke era there aren’t any major girlboss moments.

Although I stopped watching after the end of season 8 (10 seasons total), I can tell you that you will enjoy it quite a bit as the series progresses.
The soft reboot with 50% new cast was not a good plan, but they didn't feel like they had enough foundation to start Atlantis yet, is my guess.
There was nothing particularly offensive about the new AF general casting, or the younger lead, but they were very... bland.
Claudia Black's character, on the other hand, I despised.
Well do remember, only 1/4 of the casting was new/changed. I think Ben Browder did a pretty good job, but I don't think he was "quite" the right fit as the stand-in for the new team leader. Generally I have few complaints, save for how I really wish he'd been given more opportunities to do some brilliant work like he had with Farscape. Michael Shanks and his character remained superb, even when Claudia Black was not quite performing so well.
Claudia was, so hit or miss. 60% miss I'd say, and I think a lot of it's because the writers just couldn't narrow down who her character should be for the longest time. And then they settled for a generally boring direction with her. New base general (forgot his name) did alright, but he didn't have quite the same spark as Hammond.
Beau Bridges, best known for being the younger brother of the Jeff of the same name.
Can't beat Don S. Davis for the serious general we wish the Air Force had, though in my experience, Beau was closer in temperament to most flag officers. He had that politician veneer that most senior officers had, while Don had the grit that I'd expect from a man who'd started his career as a private, not a lieutenant.
Nah, I hated every direction they took her skanky Mary-Sue ass equally. I didn't like the slag, I didn't like the never-before-seen former Gou'auld host, and I didn't like the campy misfit. She didn't belong in a serious military outfit, and unlike the cast of the original series, she hadn't earned any leeway. An actual military outfit would have treated her like Teal'c would have been treated in Season 1 if he couldn't fight and consistently betrayed the team and abandoned the mission for personal reasons multiple times. i.e. taken out back and buried in a very deep grave.
rofl, she was terrible.
