No franchise is perfect and sometimes change for changes

Yes, Look what they've done to Star Trek!!

 
Not a big Trekkie but I liked S3 of Picard... other recent ST
serials - the episodes I saw of them anyway - left me nonplussed.
 

Picard seasons 1 and 2 were - “OK”, but suffered from that streaming series
malaise of “we have a captive audience for 10 episodes, we can get away
with enough script for 3 episodes and just meander along”. Season 3 was
excellent - a love letter to the fans, for all intents and purposes a
long-delayed Season 8 of TNG. And I really hope Star Trek: Legacy comes to
pass in some form. Picard S3 set it up perfectly.

I like Discovery but it doesn’t really feel like Star Trek. But you need to
watch the first two seasons as context for Strange New Worlds, which I feel
is a contender for Best Trek Ever at times.

Lower Decks is just another example of the breakneck paced “adult
animation” that seems so popular with US audiences these days, with a
zillion Star Trek in jokes thrown in. It’s just about watchable on its good
days.

I did quite like Prodigy, it wasn’t given a chance to really get going.

The Orville is - technically not Star Trek but let’s be honest, it’s Seth
McFarlane writing TNG fan fiction and being allowed to make it as a series.
Here’s hoping season 4 does eventually come together.
