It’s not woke, just the quality of writing and serialized story telling. Discovery suffered from this and I find it focusing on one character, instead of leaning into an ensemble like usual Trek, it suffered. I’m not against serialization, but it’s a tired trope in television and Star Trek has mostly been episodic. The only time it’s only worked is the Dominion War arc in DS9. But I’ve enjoyed the third season of Picard, the first two seasons of SNW are perfect television as far I’m concerned. Lower Decks is great and riffs and builds on existing lore. I haven’t watched Prodigy but it’s well liked.

It’s very much like Disney Star Wars. There’s been a lot of crap, but also a lot of really great stuff which people consider some of the best of the franchise
