< the beginnings of a personal manifesto?
I loved Lower Decks, to me it's more of a true Trek successor than Discovery. I will definitely dig into DS9

I also loved Lower Decks, at least after the first half of season 1, when it finds its feet. The good thing about it is that it really commits to being a sequel to the 90s series (TNG, DS9, VOY), set around 2380, and doesn't try to change the setting like most of the rest of NuTrek does.
Prodigy is like this, somewhat. It starts in the Delta Quadrant, and the main characters have had little or no contact with the Federation, but contextual clues suggest it's set around the same time as LD. They did the right thing to change the setting by actually changing the setting and putting it completely outside of Federation space, instead of changing the Federation (PIC) or rewriting its history (DIS).
