I recently got Paramount Plus and watched the first episode of Strange New Worlds. I liked the cast, but I found the show a bit limited, similar to Discovery in that way, except more so. I'll see more at some point, but I'm not rushing. Picard is the only new Trek I'm really sold on. I wish they'd do more shows carrying on from where TNG/DS9/Voyager/Nemesis left off and quit mucking around in Star Trek's past, recasting classic characters. I'm eager to see Star Trek advance, not all these prequels. And jumping endless centuries into the future doesn't count. I don't buy Discovery and Strange New Worlds' setting as being 10 years before Kirk. Their vision of that era is not really compatible with TOS. So much so that IMDB has gone and theorized that Discovery is in a different timeline, just like the Kelvin movies are. I'm sure that's not the oficial view, but it does fit. Still, Strange New Worlds is a likeable enough show, with a likeable captain and a likeable crew.
