The school drama between the cadet-guys was so forced and the officers acted irresponsible, sometimes even incompetent.
It also felt more like a mix of Hogwarts in space and Xavier's school for gifted youngsters.
Why can't they start their training on earth instead of flying through open space with a minimal crew and lots of kids without any qualification and without any permission on the ship?
SAM is the photonic version of season 1 Disco Tilly.
Lura Thok (number one) reminded me of Lt. Commander Bortus from Orville.
