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

Picard was like wannabe Firefly

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.

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