Huge disclaimer - I am from former USSR territory so obvious Star Trek as TV series are a bit alien to me. I enjoyed movies, I understand how they differ from TV series, and I understand overall feel.
As someone relatively fresh, I enjoyed series a great deal, way more than I expected. Writing was solid for most part, visually it is very nice, impressive work on costumes and ships, I like sci-fi bits feel equal to personal story bits. Characters were strong. I liked twists and turns. So I recommend and will definitely watch again and upcoming seasons too.
