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 good, pretty funny and entertaining. Picard is something different, but honestly worth a watch, good sets, good acting, good cinematography, writing is hit or miss, and it def panders to nostalgia. I feel like it pulled me in because I just love the actors and I'm probably a bit enamored by them. Discovery I grew to like in later seasons. I posted a while back that it felt fashy, but that impression wore off in later seasons. It does have a Marvel-esqu feel to it though and it's not my fave. I feel like the sub plots are too convoluted too. Strange New Worlds is fantastic in my book. The cast is top notch, writing might have been ripped off from TOS, but it's the prequel to Kirk's Enterprise, so it fits. The cinematography is dazling to my eyes - if there's one you watch for a Star Trek fix, this is it.
