What "third generation" Trek is worth watching? (kbin.social)

I started with Star Trek after watching the Star Trek (2009) movie in college. After that I went wild watching everything I could since I was young with loads of time. I watched most of TOS, all of TNS, all of DS9, all of Voyager, all of Enterprise and all of the movies. I then stopped since I didn't have the time and wasn't ready to download a new app to watch Discovery.

I am interested in watching some of the new shows from Discovery onwards but don't know where to start and what are worth watching. I no longer have hours to watch TV or movies anymore and want to prioritize series on an easy to find streaming service. What is worth watching and what is worth skipping? Is it worth while to watch them all the way chronically or just watch one series and then another one.

Watch Picard Season 3, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks and possibly Prodigy.

Avoid all of Discovery and the first two seasons of Picard. They are the worst Star Trek has ever been and seem to exist for no other reason than to pander to the “we need to be represented” crowd.

I love Discovery. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations...Trek should aspire to that. Also...as a queer person I appreciate seeing people like me in Trek.

Discovery forces in representation for representations sake. It’s not relevant to the plot at all. Like did we really need two scenes explaining that there is a non binary character? No, no we didn’t.
