Lower Decks is brilliant. But Discovery and Picard was enough to make me hate new trek. What else is there? Prodigy is just a trashy show for kids. Well for stupid little kids it's good enough. You don't need quality writing for kids /s

PS: Yes I'm angry at the enshittification of star trek.

Prodigy is great for what it's trying to be. If you don't like kids shows that's fine, but Prodigy is still teaching a new generation about Starfleet ideals and I think that's awesome. Strange New Worlds is also pretty decent.

the enshittification of star trek.

Star Trek started using their monopoly power as a platform to squeeze their business customers for the benefit of shareholders?

Well lol, very loosely yeah kinda. Very similar processes. Instead of being in the control of creatives who love the franchise, the franchise is owned by a corporation through a monopoly (IP ownership) who just try to diversify the portfolio and suits just hire anybody that sounds like they make money. And nobody else is allowed to make star trek. The Orville was better Star Trek than new trek but it competes against the name recognition of the brand.
