 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.
