Yeah, and the Section 31 movie looks wretched, and Starfleet Academy is just another season of Discovery. 

I am suffering from Federation Fatigue.

I don't know why I thought Section 31 would be a spy / Dirty Dozen type show but the trailer almost felt like a comedy. 

Plus a log line of "Federation outsiders serving a gleaming resort planet find out their day-to-day exploits are being broadcast to the entire quadrant" really doesn't sound interesting.

They’re calling it “Keeping up with the Cardassians”.

I don't have high hopes for Section 31 (but I'm always going to be partial to how it was portrayed on DS9 - as a non-Starfleet covert entity), and I'm still undecided about "Academy" (although I like that they're bringing Robert Picardo back as the Voyager EMH/"The Doctor"), but I'm willing to see where Simien and Newsome go with their comedy.  Newsome in particular is a Trek fan as well as as an actor on Lower Decks, so I think she'll do justice to canon.
