As one of the five people who really really liked it (outside of that one pointless episode); Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
Clearly a show that does not do well for CBS AA.

Friends. The Big Bang Theory.
Jeeez. That bit where the Fox exec got a rich FX deal months before he was supposed to testify and the fact the Bones deal was signed by the same person for both sides is so damning.
I'm curious to see the AMC trial now.
It's coming, and the creators also have been given an overall deal at Netflix to make other shows.
One of the actors said June. Who knows but it gives a time frame.
Lichtman points out that the award is 0.6 percent of 21st Century Fox's stipulated net worth.
When will judges finally put $$$ that are meaningful.
Given that I'm sure there will be dozens of other suits now, I'm guessing the total will be very substantial.
Get that money Booth and Brennan, you deserve it.
Best.procedural.ever.
Between low ratings and Fox purging X-Men stuff, I'll be really surprised if it gets renewed. Still need to watch the finale, but it's really been losing me this season :/
Thankfully it has already been renewed for S2. I've been enjoying it a ton. I've mostly enjoyed it more than This is Us this season. That and The Passage have been real surprises for me (in good way).
I am probably too dumb for this show but boy I hated it.. watched the whole thing and what a waste of time.. I mean interpretive dance? WTF
I'm not talking about random YouTubers. There's a reason they have completely changed the showrunners multiple times. We'll see though. They're definitely trying to make it work no matter what because they don't exactly have anything else. But it doesn't mean they don't wish they had better. Like if they cancel STD they're basically admitting CBS AA is a failure.
I don't think ST:D is a total failure, but I do think it has been underwhelming. You don't greenlight a Star Trek show, give it a big budget, and launch it as the flagship series of an upstart service if you don't expect it to be huge. I think it's big, but it certainly it isn't a GoT-level zeitgeist defining show that CBS execs had clearly hoped it would be. That's why I think they're preying on the nostalgia for the old Trek series by bringing back Spock, Picard, Pike, and so on. To be fair, this is from the view of someone looking from the outside in and I fully admit I may not be in touch with the popular culture. That being said, I can see the argument for why people consider it a failure. The arguments you gave for it not being a failure can also be used to justify why it might be considered one: CBS needs a bigger hit and is going all in on Star Trek to find the one show that'll get people talking a la "Game of Thrones" or "Empire" S1.
And let's be fair, CBS AA would never publicly admit that the show isn't doing as well as it hoped and saying nebulous things like subscriber goals were reached earlier than expected could mean anything. Lord knows people aren't subscribing to CBS AA for "The Good Fight" or "Tell Me a Story."
So you think GOT would have been even 10% as popular if it had been launched the first day HBO first started broadcasting?
Discovery is still huge, if not in the US then in the rest of the world where it is broadcast weekly on Netflix.
This is also the reason all those CW shows survive on 0.2 ratings year after year.
Cinemax definitely cancels a twice rebooted show for real this time
CBS making money off of ST:D via Netflix licensing and being successful in that way is a different story than ST:D driving subscribers to CBS AA and being successful in that way. (And by extension CBS AA being successful at all).

Good fight is great! I subscribed to CBS All Access for it.
(And then canceled it as soon as it was over)

I have a feeling this is one of the more accurate descriptions of Star Trek Discovery's success that I've read. I would be interested to know if Netflix was willing to pay as much for Discovery Season 2 as they did for Season 1 (as far as I know CBS hasn't said if Netflix basically paid for the entire episodes like they did for season 1).
I get the feeling that CBS announcing all of these Star Trek shows are an attempt to get people to keep All Access when Discovery is over. I also have my doubt that all of them will be made but we'll see.
All of two people? Wow, that's almost half of CBS AA's subscribers. /s
But, you weirdos aside, CBS AA is basically fueled by Trekkies. While a good base, it isn't big enough to survive the streaming wars that'll ensue once WarnerMedia and Disney+ enter the scene.

Hey, there were three of us!
I'm sure Star Trek is handily the most popular AA show but The Good Wife was one of CBS's most popular shows on streaming platforms when it was on. I think TGF might do better numbers than people give it credit for.
Everything Britt Marling is involved in is a hollow shell devoid of substance. The most overrated indie darling whose entire body of work amounts to absolutely nothing.
Ended on a big cliffhanger in the vein of
Timeless S2 last year
That's something else. Not even an attempt at obfuscating the improper self-dealing.
I'd love to see the numbers on that. I'm a huge Star Trek fan, but I'm not even subscribing to CBS until the whole show is done and I can binge it in a month and then cancel again (it was nice to watch the first episode on YouTube for free though).
Could easily be the case that it's the most popular, but they do have a lot of other shows that appeal to other audiences (if we include non-exclusive ones too in their backlog). Whether those audiences are subscribing to streaming services or even know what a "streaming service" is, that's another matter, haha.
Plus isn't Twilight Zone only streaming there too? I have a feeling that might be pretty popular too.
That fast? Nice!! I thought we'd be kept waiting for a while. So good to hear.
EDIT:
I was already hoping for a Halloween episode but some of the ideas posted into the reddit thread I just saw about the renewal are really great and I wish they would happen.

curious how much companies pay to get the special icons with their hashtags on twitter and permanent placement on the top US trends when they air (its just doubtful that every single one of the final masks as well as the name of the show itself would actually have all the top spots along with Riverdale imo)
There is something about the character and the heavy use of blue hue in the Whiskey Cavalier photo that makes me think of a 90's series. Also, I think 8 minutes of this show is enough for me. Maybe if I hear in the future that its a good series I'll come check it out but right now it seems that I am done.
People in class were talking about how great Life in Pieces is and recommending it to others. It made me happy.
I just found out about this show on accident tonight, happen to start on ep 8 and I'm like 1/2 way through the episode and am thinking what even is this show, it's crazy.
The finale was tonight, it's been renewed but it's basically a ridiculous singing competition where everyone is anonymous but it's just comfort television for me.
How could you not mention the series' oddball hook: they're not playing the 90210 characters, they're playing themselves trying to get the show rebooted!

Goddamn, you know something went wrong when someone who wasn't even in the scene got brutally injured.
Last season was awful, they should've just cancelled it straight away and waited until they've gotten the original characters (and the original budget) back.
