I really love what Star Trek Discovery did with the mirrorverse, and especially the Emperor.  Definitely one of my favorite characters of the show.  Also the mirrorverse plot isn't just incidental, but is is actually an important element of the story.  I also enjoy DS9's mirrorverse, but Discovery's is definitely my favorite.

Another thing I love about Discovery is Saru, and the kelpians in general.  Besides the fact I just really enjoy a lot about the kelpians in and of themselves, the kelpians actually remind me a lot of muuns (except for being much better designed --looking at you, San Hill).  If they just had a longer head they'd look almost exactly how I imagine muuns should look.  Or at least a lot closer than anything George Lucas did for them.

In general the main characters have really grown on me, whereas I was initially unsure how they'd be handled.  But overall I've enjoyed seeing them develop over each season.  Michael Burnham is one constant in the show, as she's the main character, though her arc has been far from static.  I think this also reflects the story, which is very dynamic itself.  Michael also has the most mother figures of any character I've seen.  Sometimes a character has a complicated relationship with her (non-biological) father, her brother, and her four mothers.  Okay, maybe that's just Michael.

Also the Mudd time loop episode is hilarious.
