I was so excited to see a vulcan (human? lol) on deck in episode one. After losing Leonard Nimoy, really wanted a vulcan that would show as strong a character as he did in the past. The gal, meaning no offense, who is playing human but raised Vulcan (Burnham) is so disappointing. She has no presence like Leonard Nimoy or Nichelle Nichols. Her voice is disappointing too. She would be better in a lesser part and replaced with another gal who could deliver. I blame casting. It takes a certain actor to catch attention while in a sci fi series and in particular in a Star Trek series. I believe the fans except so much. It bothers me enough not to continue watching the series or even recommend it to others. The rest of cast seems wonderful so far but I have watched enough series to know that a series lead cannot be held up by rest of cast. Eventually, it suffers. I am a staunch Star Trek fan and am sorely disappointed. Thank you for listening to my opinion.

Vince Vaughn saves this movie somewhat but can't keep it afloat for long. There are good character actors in movie but my main complaint, in my opinion, is about editing and actress playing his daughter. She just isn't convincing as a teenager and I wouldn't have missed her at all if she was bumped off earlier. Please, please, I say to you movie directors, cast lead actors so that they are convincing in their relationships with each other. We should have some feeling about their relationship and I do not, sorry to say. I definitely was waiting for words to fall off the lips of Vince Vaughn, I just think he is a spectacular actor, but he can't save scenes where he receive's limp come-back speech from daughter. I am not sure if the chemistry (is that the word?) was not working between father and daughter but I wasn't interested. I tried really hard to be. I actually felt Vince Vaughn did the best he could but she seems to only react, not act with her father. I love the humor, Vince Vaughn and others do not disappoint in that, and I actually love his hair now. He looks different in a great way.

It was very entertaining and thought provoking. Character development was obvious, well-done, and direction of plot well-paced. Any series that gives one a tie or understanding with characters and story is a good one in my book. Loved the interaction between DS Stone and Ruth Hattersley. Would definitely like to see a return of this pair. There is so much potential and possibility for this series if powers-to-be would only bring it back for an encore. My family and friends just watched this series and we all loved it so much. We felt we knew the characters and related to their actions throughout the series, especially DS Stone. We constantly laughed over the things he said without any inhibition, because we know some of those things are what people would really want to say and don't, because we are too politic in these modern days. So refreshing! Please bring it back for an encore performance.
