      It depends. Prodigy, Lower Decks, and Strange New Worlds are all great (the former two take a moment to get into their element, though).

      Probably watch 10 episodes of Prodigy before making your verdict, and probably through the first few episodes of season 2 for Lower Decks.

      For Discovery, I’ve found it make many mistakes, but also been, it’s been fun at times. I’ve only watched through part of season 4.

      I liked Discovery, but you can’t background-watch it. If you stop paying attention for 5 minutes you’ll lose track of what’s going on. It’s very JJ-trek.

      i guess it depends on what you consider to be the good stuff to begin with. SNW is essentially more TOS and TNG which makes it a pretty safe bet. Lower Decks is great but it’s very different, being a comedy first and foremost. if you want to play it safe i would avoid Discovery and Picard, and that’s coming from one of the ten people who liked parts of both of them

      Only watch Picard season three. Skip the first two seasons. Also, lower decks is pretty great. Strange new worlds… Your mileage may vary on that. Avoid discovery.

        Finally someone who agrees with me! Season 3 was what season 1 should have been.
