I don’t even know why I continue watching this show. The protracted “death “ scene in the last episode was cringe worthy. I think the biggest problem STD has is weak characters. We never see them outside work, I think last episode was the first time we saw Saru’s pad. Most of the bridge crew are nobodies, they’re just there to push buttons when told to do so. They don’t socialise, we never see them interact with each other in situations not involving work, thus I never buy them as a crew.
I keep telling myself this is the last episode I will watch but the whole thing is like a terrible car crash that you can’t look away from. The fact that it’s only available to watch one episode a week helps I guess because I’d never manage to binge through it all at once. As a weekly bitter pill to swallow it’s just about manageable.
