I started watching Discovery and it has potential with great characters, but I’m disappointed with the storylines

I always thought the hate for Discovery would be exaggerated because so far I’ve liked every Star Trek, even the more unpopular ones. But I’m on season 2 of Discovery and I think some of the decisions they made are kinda unnecessary or just not entertaining. I love the characters, especially Tilly and Saru, but the whole thing with Tyler insisting he’s a Klingon is strange to me. And they made him have a child just to send it away never to be seen again in the next episode. I also just finished episode 4 with the big sphere and I get where they were trying to go with Saru’s “death” but it felt kinda shallow, and very predictable that he wouldn’t actually die. Overall, I feel like the series has a lot of potential but I think the writing is letting it down

Edit: after reading some comments, I guess my issue with Tyler being Klingon isn’t the fact that he’s Klingon but more that they didn’t put enough focus on him coming to terms with being both Ash Tyler and Klingon if that makes sense. I guess the same complaint as the rest, I wish it was executed better lol
