I love Discovery. You should definitely give it a chance.
It’s not perfect, and some of the complaints in this thread are completely valid, but I attribute the ferocity of the hate it gets more to the fact that it brought Trek back as a series after a very long hiatus, and took some pretty big swings as a result.
I was around when DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise were the new shows that “just didn’t understand Star Trek,” so from my perspective it’s all very cyclical. Trek fans, as with most long-standing fandoms, don’t all handle change very gracefully.

Should be shouted at every comic-con by the Star Trek cast as a reminder.
