Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Seriously don't believe the hate, most of which derives from the reviewers actually disliking the CBS ALL ACCESS service. Yes the ALL ACCESS Service is a terrible cash cow scheme by CBS. The show itself is very very good, it is not your typical Trekie show, it has a more grit then all of the other shows combined. The CGI is absolutely stellar along with the acting. There were some very serious plot twists in season one that were probably not expected by many. As for the critcism I hear from people concerning the main character Michael Burnham. Yes, Michael is girl, not a boy.....who cares if she has a boys name, not sure why it's such a big deal? One twist of the main Star Trek universe people are freaking out about, is that it is revealed that Michael is the adopted sister of Spock. Since this is the first we are hearing about her people are freaking and saying its not real, she doesn't belong! I ask that you give her a chance, Michael is awesome! Similar to that of spock, Michael was raised on Vulcan, largely shaped by Vulcan culture. This can give her the appearance of being cold and analytical, but she does have a human side and it shows. This is a good show and it deserves better the CBS All Access garbage, if you have access to NETFLIX outside the US it is available there. But if you are stuck with CBS and NETFLIX inside the US, then I encourage you to get CBS All Access starting Jan 2019 until season 2 finishes or wait a long time for the season 2 dvd/bluray.
