The show, as many contemporary productions, is shallow and relies heavily on CGI, but eye candy won`t magically let us forget the plot is out of sync with the rest of the franchise. Granted they were no allowed to use the star fleet uniforms looks, the look of the klingons, etc., so they had to do with whatwas left.
They should have made a show for a future beyond TNG, there it would have fit perfectly with pristine computer production. And give me a plot I can remember for ex. first massive encounter with a positive race, the history of how we made it from a world run by money to a world where resources are abundant, the end of fossil and atomic energy production, how does 2017 looked from their perspective and so on.
