Honestly, it should be the other way around.
What?
One explores a wide range of hard hitting social issues wrapped up in classic episodic sci-fi short stories, and the other has a magic crying space baby and flying on tardigrades through mushrooms in space.
Discovery has lots of cringe, but I find that very realistic, because most people IRL are super cringe as well.
The characters were never the problem with Disco, the writing was the problem.
Characters are their writing combined with their performance.
Also the mushroom drive, I feel like the mushroom drive was a problem.
