I knew about the new Star Trek Discovery series during its development, but I didn't see an advertisement of its actual premiere until yesterday, so I almost missed it. I thought it sounded like a promising show from what little info I found here and there, but now that I've seen the pilot I feel like saying finally, a show that brings the franchise back on track! It's so refreshing to see an interesting sci-fi that doesn't rely on mature-rated content, excessive arguing and foul language; there's so much of that everywhere these days that for those of us who don't want to watch that sort of thing there's almost nothing left worth watching at all. Discovery so far has impressed me, I was able to watch the pilot without once being 'kicked out' of the experience by the annoyances that everything else in the franchise has had since DS9.

doccarnby: from what I've read, you should be able to watch it through two or three providers, including Netflix, in the near-future. I could be wrong, just mentioning so you can look into it if you want. The show is filmed in my country, yet we're getting a less than ideal deal; only a few episodes will air on the channels I currently have, and it doesn't look like Netflix here will get it, so I need to figure out how to keep watching it after that (assuming the show continues being at least this good).
