The show managed to be surprisingly great. Superficially it looked like a rick and morty knockoff, but the series really has a good sense of humor while balancing the wacky off kilter fun in a way that still feels like star trek.
Comment on ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Cast Talks About The Big Change For Season 4

So I finally watched Lower Decks, well a good chunk of it anyway, and expected it to be horrific, but I surprisingly like it now. I don’t absolutely love it, but I do like it. Especially Tendi

@startrekexplained Oh sure! Like all the Characters but the doc ist the best. 😁 The crew avoids coming for their vaccination ? No, Problem. She has a vac rifle ;) or her romance with the Bajoran Security Chief or the Tamarian. Ok, i love all.

This is my feeling about LD to a T. I still don’t get why some people seem to think it’s the best thing since DS9, but it’s not bad.
The series I was shocked by how much I loved, however, was Prodigy.

None of the NuTrek shows are that good honestly, SNW included. But I like them outside Discovery and the first two seasons of Picard

The first few episodes are a bit rough. They make it seem more like a Rick and Morty-type show, which isn’t quite what I was after for Trek.

The second and third seasons are awesome I admit

I’m finding all the pilot episodes and most season premieres in the current era rough. It seems a pattern with all the shows
One definitely gets the sense that there are so many senior executives at Paramount and CBS Studios giving notes as they seek to differentiate the shows that the creators’ ideas get muddied.
As they get into the seasons and get more seasons the EPs and writers find each shows voice, I suspect that they suffer fewer notes telling them to adjust to some executive’s idea of what the show is supposed to be and who it is targeting.

Considering the production issues that Discovery had behind the scenes, I wonder if it might be the opposite. The show’s creatives are being hampered by the executives, who would prefer that they kept to the standard “Star Trek Brand” instead. It’s happened before, with both Voyager and Enterprise, and the current model of the show is meant to be “A Trek for Everyone”, which would be difficult to pull off if all the shows kept to the same sort of formula.
