What's not to like? They're 900 years in the future after the federation has collapsed and have to bring the federation back, and the new character is a empathic vegan who can talk to animals and travels everywhere with his cat. It's fucking awesome.

Also there's a good case to be made that the collapse of the federation after the Burn has brought anarchy to the galaxy, because without warp travel, every planet is isolated and can develop without the state / federation's control. The Discovery is trying to bring socialism back to an anarchist world.

And Book is a pirate who liberates endangered species from poachers. It's the most anarchist trek ever. I got serious Farscape vibes from that premier.
