Hey man you can't control what you like.
I personally might have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been (seemingly) shoehorned into the Star Trek universe. I understand it's not a very subjective metric, but Discovery just didn't feel like Star Trek.
It comes across as if someone producer got pitched a sci-fi series with the plot of Discovery and thought, "This is great! It would be even better if we slapped Star Trek all over it!"
I bailed on DSC back when season 2 was airing. Specifically, Project Daedalus was my last episode. Later, I tried watching it again and trying to enjoy it more on its own merits, ignoring the Trek branding and whatnot. I wanted to bail again at the exact same point. I don't know if it's a too many cooks situation with the constant showrunner turnover or if the writers' room just has an obsession with melodrama, but at no point did it feel, to me, like there was a good show hiding in there.
