I thought I'd like Discovery better, but I'd say both are middling. With respect to Discovery, there have been a few episodes I liked, but the show has too many misfits and flawed characters for me. I really am not into listening to a bunch of whining.
I gave up on Discovery after three episodes (or was it four?) where they introduced the silly new method of using spores for something that I won't go into here for fear of spoiling it for someone. There was enough scientific hand-waving being done by the writers to explain how that spore-thingy worked that hurricanes were spawned off the coast of southern California.
I've noticed that Jonathan Frakes has directed a lot of TV episodes. Like you, I've also noticed his work stands a bit above the ordinary.
