Two months ago I did a post asking for the opinion of Discovery and the comments were mixed. https://startrek.website/post/29577558

The commander disobeing order to the captain in the first and also attacking her? Xenophobic military propaganda? I didn't like it and that I like Deep Space Nine.

Now I'm watching Lower Decks, is very funny and has a lot of references to other Star Trek series, is really good, I don't understand how a comedy who is almost a parody catch more the Star Trek vibes more than a serious production. I hope Strange New Worlds have something good, because I was already disapointed by the three seasons of Picard and the first episode of discovery.

Lower Decks is awesome. That and The Orville were some of my favourite "Star Trek" moments in modern times.

By the way, there's a bit of a story arc going on at the beginning of Discovery and some things don't make sense until that gets revealed later on. The show changes some of the tone and atmosphere over time with new seasons. But if you don't like it, maybe it's just not for you. It's not classic Star Trek for several reasons.
