Put a person who doesn't deeply understand Star Trek in charge of all Star Trek content and that is why this era of Star Trek is more misses than hits.

Though, there are two standout shows:

Star Trek: Lower Decks (consistently good)Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (mostly good)What do you think of this era of Trek? What were your favorites of the shows?

@mookie SNW and LD are the best of the era. I like SNW, but it occasionally annoys me, however it annoys me less than DISCO. DISCO suffered from main character syndrome and Game of Thrones-itus due to its habit of killing off characters randomly.

 I never watched Academy. I doubt it deserves the hate it got, but I also don’t like that era. It’s just dumb and depressing, even though it’s basically what Gene Roddenberry’s notes laid out. (Those notes became Andromeda.)

I would like more stuff in the PIC era, and I was fine with a wounded and defeated Picard, because art should reflect the world, and that’s how it feels now. But again, it suffered from Game of Thrones-itus and too much fan service nostalgia.
