I really enjoyed TNG, Enterprise, and Voyager. Proper Trek. Never really got into DS9.
Strange New Worlds is a return to form after disastrous Picard and shonky Discovery.
Expanse is good if you like that kind of thing. Except the pilot which is a bit shit.

# Not seen new Trek but have watched plenty of RLM and it sounds horrendous

# Disco was absolutely shite. Trek does not make for good serials generally.
SNW has been great so far, and not just because of what preceded it. Used to watch RLM but Mike really started getting on my tits.

Have a look at Star Trek Continues.

I’ve been loving watching Mike’s decline into insanity.

DS9 seemed like a dystopian pseudospiritual shitshow of a misstep to me, and it didn't compare to Babylon 5 at the time.

I liked everything about Voyager except the most of the cast, most of the characters, the entire premise, and the writing. But at least it belonged to the Trek universe.

Enterprise is my favourite post-TNG Trek. You just need to skip the abominable theme song.

STD and STP are entirely unbearable. Alex Kurtzman clearly hates Star Trek. I'd say I'd give SNW a chance, but Kurtzman and co have sapped all my good will.

Perhaps one day when the copyrights are all expired someone will come along and produce some real Star Trek, but I can't see things improving under the current regime.

Definitely give SNW a go. I’m similarly sapped but it’s been wonderful.

I’ve probably plugged that to you before.

# Is that like Phase 2 with the Elvis impersonator Kirk?
Because that shit is AWESOME.

# Pretty much
They’re all free online and the second series has John de Lancie as a guest star. Also Chris Doohan playing Scotty.

The unofficial second part to Mirror, Mirror is probably my favourite. His evil Kirk is absolutely chilling at times.
