They should just rename it to The Michael Burnham Show at this point.

I've not seen the show, but have heard that Burnham is basically the Mary Sue of all Mary Sues.

She's the protagonist, all the show is about her. I suspect it's intentionally a divisive character, to form a small but hard fanbase at the cost of losing the rest. Demagogues follow the same formula, it's kinda interesting to see it applied on a TV show.

So much moral inconsistency

?

Burnham is a terrible officer, but also always trying to talk up Starfleet as if she isn't constantly acting like Starfleet doesn't know what the fuck it's doing.

You stopped just as it was getting good. Season 1 was bad. Season 2 was a bit better. Season 3 was pretty good. Season 4 is boring and poorly paced.

Perhaps, but I saw no reason for it to be named Star Trek. They should have named it anything else and I'd probably have enjoyed it more.

I've found it consistently bad all the way.

It did look like it was going to get a bit better when S3 started but it's still a lot of moping and crying and even the ship's AI having existential issues and zero exploration and socio-politics.

Even the most high profile representatives of the different peoples are just a bunch of emotionally immature and persistently frightened individuals.

The plot of season 4 reminded me a little too much of "Orphans of the helix"
