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

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? 
SNW is a weird one. A really good cast and aesthetically gorgeous, a good mix of old Trek designs with what modern CGI and setbuilding can do
However it's also weirdly trying to be P r e s t i g e T V at the same time. The very first episode is all about how the captain is mopey and considers themselves unworthy of command because he saw a vision of his own death. It legitimately seems like every character they have has some kind of tragic or dark backstory, and all of it feel wildly out of place
Also the first episode shows us Spock about to get laid. Still not sure how to feel about that
