The series is being put together by the same people who came up with JJ-Trek, so the answer depends on how dumbed down you like your Star Trek to be.
You don't need to hang out on the hardcore Trek nerd sites for long to realize that the long-time fans are not looking forward to it, or the upcoming movie.
Also, it'll be stream-only. No subscription, no series.

I hope not! 
The next chapter of the Star Trek franchise will also be distributed concurrently for television and multiple platforms around the world by CBS Studios International.
That does seem to imply it'll be available on regular TV channels, and won't require a subscription to CBS All Access.
If not, I suspect it'll quickly rival Game of Thrones for the most illegally-downloaded TV series.

Re-read the first paragraph, then the one you quoted, to put it back into proper context.
The first episode will air on TV. The rest of the series will be exclusive to their streaming service.

That's not what the sentence I quoted implies.
But as I said, if they do restrict it to their US-only streaming service, and don't let anyone outside of the US see it, then it will end up on a lot of illegal download sites.

CBS President has made a point of clarifying that the broadcast network is not involved[^] so it does look like the intention is to make it exclusive to the streaming service. The first nzb's will no doubt be hitting Usenet about 30 minutes afterward like they have for every other 'exclusive'.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

No doubt.
The Trek nerd sites have already debated this. It'll be streaming only, except for the first episode.

If that's really the case, then the producers are a bunch of idiots.

Well - hopefully they won't have another Mommy for a captain and endless "space anomolies". The most recent incarnation, with a weak earth and first-version Starship Enterprise was good stuff - but seeing how Dr. Who was brought low, anything can happen.

It might, but I think the Star Trek thing may be played out.
If they can come up with some original plots it will help.

You're a smart man Mike. Everything is becoming played out and rehashed. Seems entertainment has lost their creativity in favor of sugar coating yesterday's food and repackaging it as fresh.

Agreed and a welcome to the new CodeProject poster.  
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

APOD appears to be too zoomed in.
Where exactly is the Running Chicken?[^]
The color balance is different enough to make orienting the two pictures difficult, but the APOD is showing the area about 1/3rd of the way up from the bottom and in from the left. The Bok globules in the photographers zoomed image[^] are the same; but because the nebulosity is more intense outside that area it's colors are much less saturated than in the APOD.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So, I took this test as part of an application process. This is what it came up with:
I am "unlikely to set challenging work goals, and may exert a low level of effort toward achievement of goals"
I "may not persist when faced with difficulties or obstacles, or when success seems unlikely"
I "have little interest in volunteering for or taking on new work responsibilities or challenges"
I "Appear to have little or no interest in taking charge, or directing and leading others; may be hesitant to offer opinions"
I "May not be consistently pleasant, good-natured, or cooperative"
The one thing it failed to mention:
"I will be contacting a lawyer to sue Pearson, the creator of this test." I kid you not. These personality tests are utter bullshit.
