It was hiding in plain sight ***spoilers dead ahead***
The clues were all there. Lorca's un-Starfleet behaviour. His obsession with Burnham. Plus, the funky business with the clone Stamets in the mirror.

One thing we can almost guarantee you didn't notice? This.

Yes, as TrekCore points out, the poster for Discovery looks an awful lot like the insignia for the Terran Empire – the Mirror Universe's devious counterpart to Starfleet.
