I freaking love this show, I started late with Discovery, although I didn't fully like it, I still took the bait. Strange New Worlds is amazing though. Since then I've watched several shows and movies but SNW and Picard are my favorites for production value, art direction,and focusing on several characters and core values.

MODERATORS
I have really adored Strange New Worlds. It feels far more like Star Trek than most of the later stuff, IMHO. I'm glad they kept Ethan Peck as Spock, because he was one of the few things I liked in Disco.
I felt like most of Picard wasn't great -- especially season 2. But I'm just not a fan of big season arcs, at least not the way they do them now. One great draw for me to things like TNG is the fact I can drop in whenever. Long arcs do exist, but they don't tend to be the point of every. single. episode. Picard felt to me like it had little to offer except the same arc all the time. Most things are just put together like 8- or 13-hour movies now -- but I much prefer planet-of-the-week.
In fact, I make the same argument when discussing the Orville. Sad it was canceled, because it felt even more like Trek than SNW.
