It’s always upsetting seeing a StarTrek show ending whether by its own accord or by executive order but when it’s ordered, it doesn’t get to conclude on its own terms no matter how much time they give it. 

Discovery hasn’t been the best among all Treks and even breaks the mold of what a Trek show is especially given how frequently it’s centered and dependent on Michael Burnham saving the day. What it does have though, are some of the boldest story tellings in the franchise and really going to new places and opening up far more possibilities. 

Would have loved to see it go six or seven seasons with Burnham as captain in a rebuild of the Federation in the 32nd century and all the storylines and conflicts that would have gone along with it. Maybe we’ll still get to see it in season 5 but just one season of that, and only ten episodes, it’s going to come in very compact and rushed.
