I don’t like them as much as something like Strange New Worlds, but I think they were a very accessible entry point to a franchise that can seem impossibly large and background-heavy for newcomers at this point. It’s a loss in my eyes even if they’re not the best of Trek
I enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed TNG and DS9, and while I can't say I don't understand the criticism, I think there was certainly room for both takes on Trek to thrive.
