What is this atrocity? Don't get me wrong, Discovery, Brave New Worlds were quite bad after their first seasons, too. Even Picard was, with its saving grace being more frequent nods to The Next Generation, especially in the last season. But this...
First there was something like an initiation scene, which lack context, but ok. Then there was something that felt like a briefing before a mission in an old-school video game, where there's some audio describing what you need to do during level loading. Still weird, but ok. And then...
I think they tried to go for something like "Smoking Aces" or "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" or "Now You See Me" or something with similar vibes, and that felt completely out of place and in poor taste to me. I could not continue watching. It felt like a joke. It felt like something a schoolkid could write, especially, since it started in a bar. Especially, with how Georgiou (although that is somewhat true to her character, I guess).
I guess Star Trek is now just as dead as Star Wars and fans of both franchises can finally unite.
