It's literally just camp TNG with juvenile humor, mildly annoying characters, and low stakes.
It took me a while to get passed the early episodes, they were a little too “family guy” for me.
But the show did get pretty good in season 2, and the humour got better (in my opinion).
I think the humour in the first few episodes was Mcfarlens way of sneaking the show past the network suits - he sold it as family guy meets star trek, then switched on them once it was established.
Literally the case, the first couple eps were written for fartjock executives. Ep 4 onwards were written for the show. It's why there's a sudden stratospheric upswing
