I haven't watched Lower Decks or Orville, but Strange New Worlds and Picard.
Whilst I do think, Picard sucked and I do like SNW, I am not praising the latter as apparently the entire fandom.
Well produced, written, directed and played, indeed, but, until now, truly tame and unbold to change expectations. Good entertainment, but hardly anything more.
Discovery was better than it was received, and DS9 is, for me, still the best ST ever made.
@phoenixz
The orville is a lot of fun. Feels a lot like TNG but modern and with some humor thrown in. Though the most recent (likely last) does away with most of the humor in favor of a bit more serious, almost movie like stories.
I do agree that discovery is not as bad as most make it out to be, same with Picard, and I actually really enjoyed season 3 of Picard.
I think I just like SNW so much because it's just that, kind of tame, low stakes, it just feels like trek to me. Not every episode or season needs to be some ultra serious galaxy ending threat.
Lower decks is just fast paced silly fun.
