The problem with pulling a character like this back onto TV is that we expect a similar product... But Sci-Fi has changed since TNG.
We used to get stand-alone episodes that explored scientific and philosophical boundaries. This is -as many other people have said- a single, slow, boring story. There's a nod toward us eventually seeing a discussion about life, but TNG would have had the gusto to have that conversation within the opening 10 minutes.
This is drab Space Opera. Like Discovery and yet somehow worse. The few stars I give this are purely sentimental, imbued with the hope that it'll speed up, get a grip and be something good one day.
The Orville remains the only true Trek in production.
