The worst part was the Irish accent of the Vulcan, who wasn't really a Vulcan but a robot controlled by a microscopic squid thing inside. It was a ludicrous bad guy performance straight out of some film school project at worst or rancid 80's straight to video thing at best.
Then, having suffered enough over the last 80 something minutes... maybe the closing scenes would show promise where this could go... but no, his identical twin turns up at the end! Spouting an equally insulting Southern states accent! Presumably because that casting is somehow very important to the team going forward... I mean, get rid of that actor, keep the two they randomly 'offed' and I might've been open to seeing more. I'm being brutally honest here, and obviously wish him well somewhere very far away from Star Trek.
It's disastrous, but maybe it was a new (insanely expensive) approach where Pilots for potential series are just streamed to their target audience in future for feedback. Taken back to the workshop and well in Section 31's case, completely redone from scratch, while we all repress having ever seen the first attempt. I disliked Mirror Universe Georgiou really strongly throughout Discovery... but she was suited to being a central character in a Section 31 show, had she been the only uncontrollable loose cannon in a more workable team setup of agents, rather than literally everyone being a ticking time bomb.
And the early 24th Century setting is worthless, unless you lean into making that part of fandom happy by bringing in Sulu or Harriman maybe, for your S31 team actions to be scrutinised by and for them to butt heads with the more honest Boy Scout Starfleet. Yes, Garratt's supposed to be that, but obviously bad company rubs off and it needed an Excelsior or Enterprise-B equivalent full of regular officers looking over their shoulders. That was needed more than something Jamie Lee Curtis is no doubt hurriedly scrubbing from her resumé.
