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

To counter the popular opinion (nuTrek is garbage), Jessie Gender often posts about how newer Star Trek shows are pretty good and worthy sequels (and often exceed some older ones too). I don’t always agree with her, but I respect her Star Trek knowledge and opinions.

Here are some videos on specific shows. I opted for the most recent video I could find, unless it covered only a specific latter season:

Star Trek Discovery is Exactly What the Franchise Needed

Star Trek Prodigy Season 1 Review - Trek's Best First Season?

Star Trek Lower Decks is a Must Watch (Even For Non-Trekkies)

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S1 - An Unhinged Critique

A trip of slightly older videos that are broader in scope -

A Critique of Modern Star Trek - By A Fan

Why Modern Star Trek Is Actually Great

A Message To Modern Star Trek Haters

And some general Star Trek videos by her that are great:

A Complete (& Unhinged) Guide to Watching Star Trek

Star Trek Explained (As Simply As Possible)

Fox News Doesn't Understand Star Trek

When Did Star Trek Get Woke?

Sex in Star Trek: Exploring Gene Roddenberry's Sexual Frontier

Why Spock’s Sexuality is so Dang Controversial (SEX IN STAR TREK BONUS)

Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Sexual Retrospective

Star Trek Doesn't Understand Eugenics

And some interviews she’s had with people making Star Trek:

Talking With Star Trek Picard USS Enterprise-F Starship Designer

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Producer on Ursula K. LeGuin, Radical Empathy & Writing

Chatting With Jack Quaid - The Boys, Star Trek Lower Decks

Thank you. I started writing it when this post had 2 comments and by the time I finished, it had over 20. Hopefully, OP manages to see this and doesn’t just dismiss nuTrek.
