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

I enjoyed Lower Decks. Picard was like wannabe Firefly. Discovery was gritty doomer, kinda. I wandered off after the second or third season and never made my way back. Never watched SNW.

Don't sleep on The Orwell.

The Orwell is really good

1984

(p sure you mean The Orville)

I just rewatched Firefly and I don't see this comparison. Could you elaborate?

Not firefly, but Serenity. Strange girl appears and is a mysteriously great fighter... Etc etc

Not in story in any way, just vibes. Plucky ragtag group with a ship off on an adventure against the man type of thing. I did not watch past the first season so idk about beyond that.

You aren't missing anything

Kinda what figured. If I hadn't been watching the first season with a friend I'm not sure I would have finished it.
