After being gone from it since Star Trek Enterprise, my wife and I got back in with Star Trek Lower Decks (oddly enough). If you can handle it being animated (and goofy), it is actually a very dearly written love-letter to TNG and some of the most important moments in Star Trek lore. We appreciated that it didn't try to reinvent characters that already exist, and did a good job of bringing on old actors for cameos. They bring on people from TNG, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager all the time to reprise their roles.
There's a live-action Star Trek currently running that I can't attest to, but it has a crossover with Lower Decks that means I'm going to give it a try.
Ill give Lower decks a shot!
I do have to say one of the things that has turned me off from the ones I've tried to start up is the repeated attempts to revive/reinvent the old characters. Not a fan of reboots.
I'm the same way regarding reboots. that's the main reason I really dislike discovery's 1st season and certain plot points. while Strange New Worlds is a reboot of sorts as well it is amazing. it's just a real shame certain things are going to have to be "undone" to line up with existing canon as SNW has done an exceptional job all around and the changes they've made work really well.
