I didn't consider it disappointing, I considered it a decent starting point for better seasons.

I was born before we had a 5 minute tiktok attention span and if we weren't blown away by the first episode that meant everything was obviously garbage.

Watch TNG season 1, one of the worst seasons of anything ever.

    Lots of good series have a terrible first season. I don’t think this one was salvageable due to how shallow everything was though. It wasn’t bad necessarily, it was extremely mediocre with most of the world building consisting of adding mysteries writers didn’t know answers to. Most were just indifferent to it in the end, which something beyond disappointment.

    NUTREK ended up being worst, from s1-season whatever, almost all of them were bad more or less the same plot as each other, did you notice, how kurtzman made them all had a big bad at the end, with no resolution in the next season, just dropped it because it was such a bad plot. SNW could be better with good actors. the animated series seems to rectify this a little bit.
