I grew up on primarily on TNG and DS9. Also Voyager though in my opinion it was not as good as the aforementioned 2 series.
I find my expectations for this series, viewed through the lens of the TNG and DS9 experiences, are very low.

It seems about on par with Discovery and Picard; namely sex, violence, moody outbursts, tragic backstories, and revenge. It doesn't seem super interesting because that's not any of the stuff I like Star Trek for. I can accept that I'm not really the type of person that this show is for, but that kind of raises the question; who is the kind of person this show is for?
I can't imagine young people being particularly interested in watching a Star Trek show at all at this point, especially one that doesn't seem to bring anything particularly new to the media landscape. This looks like a trailer for any other generic sci fi show.
I guess they have viewership because they keep getting made, but I'm so curious about who those viewers are. I've never talked to anyone in real life that has watched any of the streaming Trek shows.
I don't know. I talk to quite a few young people on a regular basis. Interest in Star Trek is very low and the very few who are interested in it watch TOS more than anything!

Does the tone seem all over the place for anyone else?

uh oh. I hope this isn't going to be a lot of that mushy bullshit from Disco. Nice that Tilly is employed, though.

I guess it makes sense to put it where they did in the chronology. I'll give it a look after the full first season drops.
