all the details about.

 Seriously? This is a Soviet submarine with a political officer
independent of the captain? What captain wouldn't just space Kovich in
order to maintain discipline and chain of command?
 

Maybe.  Even the admiral doesn't know the details.  And as far as I'm aware Kovich isn't even in Star Fleet.  I'm not sure exactly what his title is although he gives off a very strong section 31 or future equivalent vibe.  But who cares, it's David Cronenberg and he steals every scene he's in.

I enjoy your reviews, but this show sounds worse than I've imagined.

I like it.  This is the final season and apparently they had enough notice to wrap everything up.
