I watched the first episode and promptly cancelled my All Access subscription too. Not boycotting just not interested. Frankly, except for some of the movies, nothing Star Trek has been Star Trek since the 1960s.
I found the pilot bizarre. I don’t blame anyone for giving up after that.
I cancelled CBS-AA as well, it’s not worth the money (either the show itself or the entire service in general), it’s more enjoyable free ;).
Anyway yes, there was a gay couple and they are flamers (it would be more interesting if they had not been a couple but whatever). But other than that I have not found myself overwhelmed by PC. “New extremes”? Hardly. I certainly don’t find it to be “ homofascist propaganda” (tm DJ) just cause there are some fruity characters.
The article seems to be going for clickbait outrage rather than a substantive criticism of the plot. There is plenty to criticize besides the ethnicity of cast members.
