When has Picard been wrong? Kirk? Sisko?
I like the little food dispenser doors in the mess hall.
Occasionally, not often. In Obsession we forgive Kirk for his mistakes because the outcome is worked.

There's a lot I like about Discovery.
I love Burnham, Saru, Tilly, Stamets, Georgiou, Culber, Book, and Vance, Ash, Reno, and L'Rell.
Lorca is one of my top three favorite captains. (Sisko, Shaw, Lorca).
I love the portrayal of Mudd. "Magic To Make The Sanest Minds Go Mad" is a top ten episode for me.
Loved the twist of Pike choosing his fate.
I love their use of the mirror universe.
There are a lot of things that aggravate me about Discovery, but a lot of that is because there were so many things I thought they did SO WELL, and it's a shame to see the downsides.

I usually find things people dislike about Discovery are due to preconceptions.
My preconception was that it would be totally new with a new creative team, which was badly needed for the franchise. I accepted any changes.
Many Trekkies went in thinking it was Berman 2.0. Nope
I dislike the notion that any of my criticisms of Discovery are based on preconceived notions. The things that I criticize about Duscovery are from a narrative perspective.
You can look at about 85-90% of public reviews and my description is accurate. Most others are based on subjective opinions on something or other, including narrative.
What do I like? The intense emotion. The pulse-pounding action. The sense of family. What do I not like? The opening theme music by Jorp Russo. So when watching I mute that and play this:
As a habit I usually don't watch the opening theme/credits after the first or second new episode.
In my rewatch though I decided to watch it again after a long time and I'd forgotten how much I like it!
Reviews are, by their nature, subjective.
Your own opinions about the show are subjective. That’s what opinions are.

I'm making a clear distinction between those with a axe to grind and things that are actually subjective, in other words a lot of what we see which is negative isn't subjectively derived, there is intent behind it that is not valid.
See above
Of course its valid. What makes it invalid and why would be invalidate someone's subjective opinion?
I've never had an axe to grind about Discovery.
There are some who just hate it out of hand because of 'gays' or whatever, I do agree with that. And that's awful.
But, ill intent or not, it's as subjective as any other opinion.
All opinions are subjective, even the unpalatable ones.
