If you don't find the humour funny, it's not going to work for you. It's half humour, half love letter to trek. Star Trek meets Futurama

To some extent, the characters have to be hyper and heightened because they have to fit a Star Trek episode in under half an hour

Not just humor, but a particularly cynical humor. And yes, I think you have a point: To laugh, you need to be able to laugh at hubris and incompetence.

I turn to because I have encountered these attributes all too often in a real life that much more resembles the hell that Guinan described to Jean-Luc Picard when the crew traveled back in time to keep one of his ancestors on track to launch on a space exploration than not. It just isn't funny to me because I have suffered these attributes my entire life and what captures is but the palest, most faintly visible shadow of it.

I turn to because I'm desperate for something better.

I like Futurama. But I can’t stand Lower Decks. I don’t know what it is, I just find it annoying and wildly unfunny.
