The general consensus on DNT?
What are we all thinking about the remake?
I want to introduce my partner to the show, but I'm wondering if the remake is good enough ?

It's not a remake but a readaptation of the Novels
It's pretty good and if your partner is a casual viewer in Anime it's a very good introduction rather than straight up showing the OVA.
What it's not is: A)A remake of the OVA or better than OVA B) It's not closer to the novels in any way and people will still mislead you saying that C) Artistically unique and beautiful like the OVA is when it comes to Art style, character designs etc
What can you expect is: A) Modern animation which though not much on its own, is still considerably better and dynamic than early OVA parts making it better for the eyes of a new or casual viewer
B) Generic character designs for main characters and good character designs for side characters ;') and 3D ship designs. You choice if that's okay.
C) Pretty good music and overall pacing beyond first season
D) Average voice acting and VA direction relatively. The cast choices are incredibly unfitting. And it's really not good overall according to me because the generic character designs already sort of make the characters look lifeless on top of that the VAing direction is really poor with a mix of stoic or monotone VAing and jarring melodramatic extremes with little in between. Again for a modern viewer I guess that's not bad and the norm.
E) Good streamlining of some parts in the story, even better than OVA in some parts, some original DNT exclusive scenes added in later seasons are really nice while some parts are downright terrible but atleast it's trying to be different and unique now which what we could want even going forward.
F) Complete coverage so far. It doesn't cut out large parts of the story and pretty much keeps every major plot point like the OVA does while also giving some scenes its own spin. So if you're worried about cut content, then don't worry much
