The second season picks up where the first leaves off with the crew of the Discovery meeting that of the Enterprise, headed by Christopher Pike. Spock receives a great deal of backstory throughout the season, and an entity called the red angel plays a significant role, with another called Control engaging in a battle with the two vessels, and the last episode explains why Spock never references Michael Burnham in The Original Series.
Definitely as good as the first season, with the only real issue being that the technology in Discovery is clearly superior to that in The Original Series, although the second does an okay job replicating the visual style of the interior of TOS's version of the Enterprise. I hate to make the analogy, but the Star Wars prequels are more believable chronological predecessors than Trek's, largely due to the fact that Wars is more about the worlds and their people than the ships and their crews like Trek.
Regardless, it's good that Star Trek is semi-back on television.
