    It's set 10 years before TOS.  There's a reference to the Enterprise which   
   was in service at the time (under Captain Christopher Pike). Not many other   
   things have been referenced.

    There were two episodes containing Mudd. Both were... interesting.  Rainn   
   Wilson (he played Dwight Schrute in The Office)  plays the character in   
   Discovery, there are a few pictures online where you can compare Wilson's Mudd   
   to TOS's Roger C. Carmel's Mudd.  There's a definite resemblance.

    I'll avoid spoilers and just say that it wasn't bad. I enjoyed it.

   ... Tasha Burger: It'll come up again later after it's gone.
