Episode 1: with expectations at the bottom of the Mariana Trench (because I watched Discovery), I was not too disappointed by this episode. Was it good? Also no. I think the story is fine in principle, it doesn't unfold in a believable way, but not the worst we've seen in Star Trek. Other than that I was irked by what the captain says at 41:55:
Really, impolt, you couldn't do a second take on that?
Episode 2: quite a bit worse, the plot progressed for like 3 minutes in total, and there was a lot of that teen drama that wasn't interesting or amusing.
Overall felt like these were written by people who know a lot about Star Trek at a very surface level, and have a very TV-idea of what college life is like. I'll keep watching, for now. Out of franchise loyalty more than actual interest.
