Star Trek: Discovery Is Returning For a Second Season (engadget.com)
Engaget reports that CBS' Star Trek: Discovery series is being renewed for a second season. The show has reportedly been enough of a success to justify a second season of episodes. From the report: The move comes as a vote of confidence for both the show and its platform, since it has recently aired the sixth of its fifteen-episode first season. Now, a second run of Discovery will air, presumably at some point toward the back-half of 2018. Discovery has certainly benefited from plenty of hype, since it's the first Trek show to air as a TV show since 2005. The pull of the Star Trek name was always going to be a draw, but it wasn't clear how much of a draw given the saga's lackluster popularity at the box office. CBS refused to offer numbers, but did boast that Discovery's debut lead to the highest number of sign-ups in the history of its All Access service.
As overrated as it is overexposed and oversaturated.

They failed to sell me, and up to this point, I watched every single live action Trek show in existence.
Even Enterprise?
Enterprise wasn't live action.
They broadcast the first episode on the air. So I saw it for free. I expected a bunch of SJW crap. They must have pushed that forward to a later episode because all I got was a big borefest. It felt horribly stretched out while I watched it, then "oh hey, part two, $ign up for $treaming to $ee it!" The only part of it I enjoyed at all was the teaser.
They couldn't write proper crew discipline, the sets were too dark to see shit half the time, gratuitous dutch camera angles, and especially the stupid "if $CHARACTER isn't back in exactly $N seconds, radiation will kill him/her, but even one second less and they'll be fine" trope. And today I heard that the writers came up with shroom-powered FTL technology? WTF?
