I have recently started to watch Star Trek Strange New Worlds and I absolutely love how good it looks. Whereas with the rubber suits of ST:TOS I had to fight disbelief all the time (no offence to a 60 year old show on a budget that had to look believable on a 20 inch b&w analog television).
This won't solve bad writing (hence why I stopped watching Discovery), bad characters, bad acting or a bad setting but I can't follow you at all about it being a problem.
I didn’t actually say it was a problem, although I did have a part clarifying that looking good can only help but I don’t think can be relied on to drive a work very far on its own… I deleted it because I felt I was already well beyond rambling and it was implied in my first sentence.
