My bet is that it will be dark, brooding and angsty like the others. Maybe with some unnecessary lens flare thrown in for good measure

Do I need a cable subscription or pay them for use?

yes however first month is free. Picard was pretty solid and I’m going to check these out next. My wife approves and we have similar expectations regarding Star Trek.
She mentioned first season was okay but it got better.

Ok, how's the commercials? Huge turn off to me is 30min == 21 min of show / 9 minutes of commercials. I won't do it if it's like that....or even if it's priced to high. I got a budget for media / entertainment!

Uh, yes you need to pay. Just like you need to pay if you want to use Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Now/Go/Max, Prime Video, Apple TV+, etc. How many free streaming services are there? I think Peacock has a free tier. IMDb, PlutoTV. There aren't many free ones that I know of.

If you just want to get a free month and binge everything you can, there's an ad-free tier.

Not that bad I’m guessing fewer than broadcast TV, however I don’t mind commercials. One thing that does sort of irritate me are the commercials appear to arrive at semi random time as in there is no cut scene. Not a big deal just sort of weird.
If I remember correctly there is a no commercial option.

I liked the 2nd season of Discovery. Picard was meh. A new series with Pike and Spock from Discovery would be cool, but I am not paying another subscription for it. I'll watch it when the whole season is available and we get the free month.
