I gather there was controversy surrounding S1 though I didn't know about what. Was it re: Lorca?

I don't think it was really, no, though a lot of old time Trek fans didn't like the grim vibe - which I think is understandable given that there's a war on.

I think more of the controversy was to do with the character of Burnham, and the decision to set the show pre-the original series, because lots of things that happen in it, not to mention the look of it, are so much more sophisticated-looking that the original. People didn't like Burnham because she was inserted into Spock's family, having never been mentioned in the original series.

Personally, I found those complaints rather silly, but then I'm not a hard-core Trekkie.
