Is any New Trek good? Or is it just all "Pew pew were a prestige TV gritty action show now." stuff? (hexbear.net)

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

Lower Decks is okay. Picard is like the fantasy of an old man dying in a nursing home, who wishes he could just see is friends one more time.

But they have dementia and they're hallucinating half of their reveries

I wish, Picard is more like a harrowing combination of elder abuse and adult children either too apathetic or scared to take the keys away from their grandpa with dementia long after it's clear he's a danger to himself and others if he keeps driving.
