In all honesty, most people that hate current trek don't hate it because it's too woke, they hate it because it's just generic trash. Classic trek didn't care much about big space battles, loads of pew pew and great action shots. Classic trek cared about great stories. The ships were places where people actually worked and lived together.
Current trek (anything after enterprise) has horrible story lines, horrible dialogue, is mostly about dump action pew pew and CGI, ignores 50 years of history, is all about fuck this, fuck that and fucking fuck you and honestly: it isn't woke: it's only virtue signalling.
Classic trek was woke by making great stories about real issues in society. New trek is just a sad shadow of what it used to be.
I was never bothered by new trek being too woke because it isn't.
To quote a really shitty show: sheer fucking hubris.
Strange New Worlds is more like classic trek, it’s not bad like Discovery.
IDK I think Discovery is weak for like 2 season before it figures itself out and is currently pretty good.
If it wasn't trek I would have checked out in season 1, but if you're willing to push through I think it's worth it.
I'm with you, I did not really like 1-2 much (despite liking the characters, sets, costumes music, etc.) and 3 was an improvement, but season 4 I actually thought was phenomenal and what I want to see more of in Trek, specifically the slower pacing and big weird alien-aliens, and a conflict not solved with pew pews.
I feel similarly with Enterprise, Season 4 of ENT was so good, so I'm excited to see if DSC S5 can keep it up.
Discovery was a rollercoaster for me. It kept having moments that made me think it was getting its stuff together and then instead of sticking the landing it would fall flat on it's face.
