I'm curious to creck some of the new stuff out but it all looks so not Star Trek

By New Trek I mean Discovery, Picard, Strange New World and Lower Decks

Wow that's a lot of series.

I like the optimism of Star Trek and apparently a lot of New Trek kind of abandons that? sadness

I've enjoyed Lower Decks and Brave New World.

Lower Decks is too reference heavy for my taste and sometimes too omg random, but over all I like it. BNW usually feels good but is sometimes too quippy "modern", for lack of a better term. I'll have to think more about what I mean. But I enjoy it too.

Picard and Discovery I couldn't get close to finishing. If you love nostalgia you might like Picard. My irl friend who loves nostalgia thought Picard was good.

Prodigy and lower decks are both really great.

Lower decks has so many references to the 90s trek.

Prodigy was good and I binged watched it in a day, the first 2 episodes were a little tough? But it was fun.

Strange new worlds was amazing, my wife and I really like it.

Picard season 1 and 2 were not that great, but season 3 was decent.

Discovery is not that great, but apparently season 5 is going to be more like snw in regards to episodic storylines and exploration.

I love lower decks. It's the only one I like, even a little bit. But you have to really really love 90s trek to get all the inside jokes. Like watching TNG-Enterprise multiple times. Season 2+ got a lot better too.

If I want to watch trek, these days, I almost always throw on Voyager or Enterprise, they are my favorites.
