Just look at the cast:
The main star in Michael Burnham, which sounds like a guy, but its actually an ugly androgynous black chick with short hair. She is also bisexual (I wish I didn't know that), having feelings for the weird chick Sylvia Tilly and for the weird effeminate dude Ash Tyler. She was in the brig for mutiny but for some reason they let her command the latest starship. She was supposedly the foster brother of Spock and knows how to use the Vulcan nerve pinch. She alternates between being full of energy and crying when her feelings get hurt.
Saru is this ugly alien of the Kelpien race (whatever that is). He is the equivalent of Spock or Data on the show but more boring.
Ash Tyler (aka Voq) sounds like a girl, but is actually is the Chief of Security. He is a Klingon but looks like a human due to heavy-duty plastic surgery. He is sort of the equivalent of Worf. He is effeminate and has PTSD due to being raped by a Klingon woman - (I wish I didn't know that). He is kind of dating Michael, who definitely wears the pants in the relationship.
Paul Stamets is a science officer who studies mushrooms and fungi. He looks normal with blond hair and blue eyes, but he is gay. One episode shows him kissing his ugly gay boyfriend Doctor Hugh Culber (I wish I didn't see that), about which nothing is notable except his gayness and him being killed by Ash Tyler.
Sylvia Tilly is an engineer (like Scotty), notable only for having red hair and being fat AND a marathon runner and a loner and obnoxious and having allergies and for being very ambitious, backstabbing any female around her. She keeps a photo of her with her dream guy/girl Michael Burnham.
Gabriel Lorca is an asshole tough white guy. He was a father figure to Michael Burnham but later "groomed" her, (whatever that means, and I don't want to know). He was captain of the USS Discovery, but then made the very poor choice of recruiting Michael Burnham to help him. He was previously the sole survivor of the USS Buran, which caused crew members to distrust him, because a captain is supposed to go down with his ship. He may have killed Michael Burnham, although that may have been in an alternate universe or she might have survived, not sure. He was killed a few episodes in by Empress Philippa Georgiou, although that may have been in an alternate universe.
Christopher Pike was captain of the Enterprise and who temporarily commanded the Discovery. He is the only normal person on the show.
Philippa Georgiou is this ugly Asian (actually Malaysian in real life and in the show as well) human who was Empress of Terra in the alternate universe where she killed Gabriel Lorca. She was commanding officer of the USS Shenzhou. She keeps trying to make peace with the Klingons who don't want peace. She refuses to fire on them and they predictably heavily damage her ship. She was killed by a Klingon warrior in hand-to-hand combat. (In one episode, Ash Tyler/ Voq apparently engages in cannibalism and eats her remains - I wish I didn't know that).
It's a bunch of screwed up dysfunctional people who keep blowing things up randomly with laser beams, and jumping in and out of warp, and in and out of the alternate universe. The game of thrones in space. Which has nothing to do with the Star Trek universe.
