Discovery went dark, true (sometimes literally) but I've heard the new one is positive?

And Lower Decks was absolute blast with so much Star Trek energy in it, and it was pretty optimistic too.

Strange New World feels like TOS. Picard was amazing for season 3 (and, lord knows, most ST gets better in the later seasons).

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is fun and optimistic and knows what it is, but you're right about Picard and Discovery. Very confused shows with no good self-identity and Picard especially posits a dystopian future and dystopian responses to it which is a huge letdown for a Trek show.
