What the hell even happened? It's not like Ronald Moore lacked experience. After Voyager and BSG he should know the formula: the A plot is actual story events and B plot is interpersonal conflict among the cast. You set up conflicts in the B plot to add tension on if they can overcome the challenge in the A plot. What you don't do is spend 40 minutes out of a 60 minute episode on squabbles among the astronaut wives. It's a show about stuff happening in space! Show us things happening in spaceships!
Just another failure to add to the scrap pile of all the "prestige" dramas produced during Peak TV. Hollywood responded to an unprecedented demand for content during Covid by disappearing up their navels about gender and race. An incredible waste of billions of dollars and millions of man-hours.
I think it's still worth watching to a point, but the quality is monotonically decreasing. Once you're annoyed more often than enjoying the show, stop watching. It won't recover. (For me, season 3 was honestly purely a hate-watch of wanting to see just how far down the show would sink.)
