I'm only a few episodes in, but I really like the ideological conflict they've set up. The Federation believes itself to be a unifying force for peace and coexistence. But the Klingons see the Federation as demanding conformity, destroying individuality, and threatening Klingon identity. Though the Federation is clearly meant to be the "good guys", both sides are sympathetic and there are parallels to modern politics (globalism vs. nationalism). Hopefully, the writers can resist the temptation to turn the Klingons into an irredeemable caricature (their statements aren't encouraging: https://www.salon.com/2017/09/22/star-trek-discovery-creators-our-klingons-are-secretly-trumpsters/ https://www.salon.com/2017/09/22/star-trek-discovery-creator...).
