Strange New Worlds has been quite good tbh.

Picard has its moments as well. It’s more valuable as a TNG revival than as a whole new ST work but it’s not bad, especially the last season.

Discovery is one of the worst sci-fi ever produced though, so definitely stay away from it.

@c10l @johannes idk, Picard S3 ends the same way as Prodigy S1, and Prodigy does it better IMO.

Discovery started well and got boring by always doing the "galaxy ending thing only us have detected and can solve (something picard does too, but not as many times in a row at least).

Glad to see someone else hating on discovery, on the Star Trek subreddit everyone’s obsessed with it and I thought it was hot garbage

I‘d say Discovery has its moments (aka those including Jason Isaacs or Anson Mount) but yea, the Series as a whole is rather bad with an annoying as fuck main character…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

All of the arguments I see for Discovery are based on representation and that's literally the only thing the show got right. It's like yeah, it's great to have a diverse cast... I just wish they were on screen doing something good. Trek lives and dies in the writing, all the acting, effects, and out of universe concerns won't save it from absolutely horrendous writing.

If they'd have done SNW style plots with DSC cast, it would have been amazing from the beginning.
