I am diehard anti-disco, it just didn't do anything for me as a Star Trek show. I wouldn't quite peg it as Disco-like, I'd peg it as closer to Picard season 3 or maybe Dominion War-esque in tone and design. Touches on some interesting concepts, some interesting world building to fill out that era, and seems designed to add new nuances to expand on M'benga after his daughter situation was resolved season 1.
I will say, I think the milage you'll get out of the episode is going to be pretty reliant on how much you like M'benga. He's one of my favourite characters in the series, so for me, I enjoyed the episode quite a bit. If you're not an M'benga fan, I can see you enjoying it quite a bit less.
