Not totally right. Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, and Prodigy are all decent as well. TOS is also worth a watch with an episode list, and TAS has a few good ones as well.
Discovery, in my opinion, isn’t as bad some say either. It’s hardly peak Star Trek, but I’ve found I enjoy it sometimes. I also have to throw in obligatory Orville suggestion.
As others have set, Lower Decks is not the first show you should watch though - it’s more enjoyable after watching everything. Also, both Lower Decks and Prodigy, I’d recommend watching through the first 10 or so episodes before making a judgement - the first few episodes aren’t their best. Lower Decks is often funny and at least once a season (from season 2) puts out a masterpiece that belong with the best of Trek. I’d say the top/my favorite LD episodes are (in no particular order):
S1 E8 “Veritas”
S2 E5 “An Embarrassment of Dooplers” (I hate the Dooplers, but everything else about that episode is solid)
S2 E9 “Wej Duj”
S2 E10 “First Contact”
S3 E1 “Grounded”
S3 E5 “Reflections”
S3 E6 “Hear All, Trust Nothing”
S3 E8 “Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus”
S4 E4 “Something Borrowed, Something Green”
S4 E6 “Parth Ferengi’s Heart Palace”
S4 E9 “The Inner Fight”
S4 E10 “Old Friends, New Planets”
S5 E2 “Shades of Green”
S5 E4 “A Farewell to Farms”
S5 E6 “Of Gods and Angles”
S5 E7 “Fully Dilated” (I think there were some things I wish this episode did better, but I still enjofed it.)
I don’t suppose that (after everything else recommended here) I could just watch those individual episodes you named and skip the rest, huh? Haha. Also, to be fair, the friend who recommended those shows hasn’t watched Lower Decks, I think, which does have a high Rotten Tomatoes rating. Thanks for sharing.
