@thatguythere Two things:
a) You wouldn't eat great pizza (assuming you like pizza, which come on, who doesn't) because a different company makes it than you usually associate with pizza? That's... interesting. 
b) One way to look at it is that social evolution came from somewhere. There was an episode in, I think, Voyager where someone points out after they considered bending their rules that it was specifically for times like these these rules were made; it's easy to be moral in safe, peace times.
As for Captain Lorca, even for his own time, he's clearly suffering from some sort of massive PTSD and his moral code is seriously skewed, and he's been surrounding himself with others as broken as he is. This is made clear by the horrified reaction his own Admiral had over his actions, successful as they may have been.
I find this kind of debate of ethics and civility against one's own self preservation is an engaging one, and Star Trek is all about such debates. I think there will be more.
Also it bears remembering the show is still brand new, and they spent the first 3-4 episodes introducing the new state of things in ways past shows didn't have to; we started in one ship, now we're in another, we were exposed to the reality of Klingon politics, etc so some time was spent setting the pieces.
TL;DR: Give it another chance, IMHO. It might be different but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
