Trek Culture can go and find their Lucky Charms. That Sean guy royally pissed on fans of Trek proper and so he can sink in the cesspit he calls home. Ellie, over on WhoCulture, at least saw the flaws as they surfaced and let fans have their uncertainty and unease, maybe even agreed with them while maintaining a professional abstract capacity to their news coverage.
That all said, it's not the worst Trek out there. It's a state of ongoing repair which is still wanting to keep the canon established by NuTrek, so it will fail. But it does a punch to the right arm and says "Remember what Trek was about, back when it was good?" and so knows going in that it's not a winner. I think the humour is what it will be remembered for, the Jem'Hadar/Klingon teacher and the holographic student are both hilarious in their roles.
For a teen coming of age story akin to Disney's Aladdin set within the Trek universe, it works. I'd not say it's anything beyond that, now whether it keeps to that is another story.

The Klingon teacher is great. I would have enjoyed her in the better seasons of modern dr who.
