Wasn’t the big complaint against Star Trek: Section 31 was that people didn’t want to watch Corrupt Space CIA?

I think the much bigger complaints are that it was boring, derivative, and had nothing to say?

American culture never recovered from the grimdark post-9/11 era of the 2000s. They had to tell themselves everyone has a dark side, even the purest heroes, in order to justify systemic killing and torture in the name of The War on Terror(TM).
