What "third generation" Trek is worth watching? (kbin.social)

I started with Star Trek after watching the Star Trek (2009) movie in college. After that I went wild watching everything I could since I was young with loads of time. I watched most of TOS, all of TNS, all of DS9, all of Voyager, all of Enterprise and all of the movies. I then stopped since I didn't have the time and wasn't ready to download a new app to watch Discovery.

I am interested in watching some of the new shows from Discovery onwards but don't know where to start and what are worth watching. I no longer have hours to watch TV or movies anymore and want to prioritize series on an easy to find streaming service. What is worth watching and what is worth skipping? Is it worth while to watch them all the way chronically or just watch one series and then another one.

I've powered through 4 episodes of "Prodigy" and I'm really struggling. The main kid Dal is so extraordinarily annoying. I mean, I know they did this with (sorry for the cross-realm reference) Ahsoka in "Clone Wars", so I just need to hear that there's some character growth coming, because I can't stand him.

[–] LibraryLass@startrek.website 5 points 2 years ago

Yes and it starts before too much longer.

Dal's growth is very satisfying to see, not long to wait too if you're at EP 4 already
