I found Picard 1-2 was great fun. Haven’t seen season 3 yet.
Lower Decks is awesome. I love the myriad references.
Strange New Worlds pretty much reignited my dormant ST passion and reminded me why I loved TOS and TNG. Interesting Sci-Fi stories are the main thing I want out of Star Trek because that’s what it was all about when I was a kid watching TOS returns. The stories can be implausible and corny with clunky dialog, I don’t care. Just make me go “hmm” or make me wish I could explore the galaxy and I got my fix. It’s why I still like TOS and TNG.
Just started Discovery last night. Only one episode in. First impression, “Why you gotta do my Klingons dirty like that, what the actual fuck??”
I appreciate that it is so cinematic in style. Feels like watching some of the original movies. But goddamn with the Klingons. The discontinuity is incredibly jarring. Although I will admit I am really wanting to find out what happens next.
Honestly I always considered the fist (IIRC) season of DSC to be deliberate Klingon fan service: Hours-long dialogue in Klingon, tons of warrior honour culture (and its conflict with federation ideals) and people are complaining about… hair? WTF?
To each their own. I had a different experience.

I felt compelled to pause the show about ten seconds after they appeared just to go see if it was just me having a wtf moment.
I’m glad they at least listened to viewers at least.
(Not that it is a bad design for alien creatures and their ships… in isolation)
I seems to be in a minority that liked it.
Is everyone just ignoring the forehead thing that Klingons don’t tak about?
