I agree. I really enjoyed Discovery and i'm really looking forward to season two.
I think DSC is following all previous Star Trek shows before it in the same tried and tested method.
TNG was vastly different to TOS etc.
That's one of Star Trek's many strengths, it evolves to reflect the times. Currently we are living in an era of Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, so Star Trek has adapted, much like the Borg haha.
