Captain Burnham and the U.S.S. Discovery are sent to retrieve a mysterious 800-year-old Romulan vessel; until the artifact hidden inside is stolen, leading to an epic chase. Meanwhile, Saru is offered the position of a lifetime, and Tilly’s efforts to help pull her into a tangled web of secrecy.
Aside from stamets, this show has the least likeable principal cast of a star trek show I’ve seen. Burnham is so blegh. And Tilly is annoying as hell imo.
I think Tilly was a very well written character, especially in the beginning. Not much experience, friendly but awkward. Very human unlike the big heroic captains. But I agree, Burnham is the most unlikeable main character in Star Trek. I also find Georgeou and Booker annoying and Saru was cool in the beginning (especially when there was still a wow factor for the visual work) but he also wasn’t faring too well lately. Most of the rest of the cast is okay at least and Jason Isaacs and Anson Mount were highlights in seasons 1 and 2 respectively.
What bothered me most about Tilly is how fast her rise from nobody to officer went. Way faster than her personality. She could make a great officer in ten years, not two.
Similar to how Burnham made Captain even though she was demoted…
You’ve been demoted and you break all the rules! Here’s a starship!

I just realized that an 800 year-old Romulan vessel would place its origin in the 2390s…
What happened in the 2390s?
That setting is the rough timeframe that precedes the first season of “Picard,” with the Romulan supernova, the attack on Mars, and various other events of that nature being relatively recent history.
I stopped after season 2. It was the only Star Trek show ever I disliked. Is it worth it to revisit or has it been more of the same?
It got even worse in my opinion.
That’s just about when it got a bit more watchable.
Trek Central has also provided a picture of what is probably the Romulan ship described in the synopsis.
Also, TrekCore has compiled some shots of what appears to the be interior:
So basically Crisis Point II?
