Now that season two's in the can, the wife and I pulled the trigger on the 7-day free trial that Amazon offers. We watched most of season 1 over the weekend and will watch season 2 this week.
I enjoyed the show for what it is, though it never really felt like "Star Trek" to me. ST is one of my three "holy trinity" fandoms, along with Star Wars and LSH, so this was a bit like reading the Reboot early on: has all the trappings, but none of the feel of the property. Still, I'm ok with that. I enjoy SF generally so having another well-produced SF show to watch is welcome. I enjoyed the twists at the end of Season 1 and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Season 2.
