I love Voyager, DS9 and TNG. 90s were the best time for trek.
Enterprise not so much, but it was getting pretty good by the end.
In the 90s it felt like we may be working towards that idealism, aftwards...not so much. Plus after mid 2000s/2010 everything wanted to be gritty which doesn't work for Star Trek. That said I haven't watched any series since Enterprise(on my list just not up there), but the recent movies felt less like Star Trek than the TNG ones.
Check out Strange New Worlds. It's the trekkiest of all the new new treks.
Watch Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds! Lower Decks is a little Rick and Morty-ish in the first season but it's still good. This is coming from someone who really doesn't like DISCO or Picard.
I feel like the only way gritty can work for Star Trek is if they set it entirely in the mirror universe where everyone is a dick.
You know, I think you've got it. The pitch for Enterprise was "What if we went back in time before even TOS when everyone was significantly shittier?"
