Star Trek The Next Generation might give you more of what you liked about Strange New Worlds and Picard. TNG gets pretty good from season 3 on or so. It’s more episodic, so you can watch a few well regarded episodes first before you dive in.
Discovery is different as it follows one main character, instead of an ensemble crew like SNW. The quality of Discovery varies wildly, however I liked the first two seasons overall. It’s worth trying I‘d say.
Voyager has its moments, but I would consider it the weakest of the three. Admittedly, I didn’t keep up with the whole series, because I was kinda bored of the concept.
TNG is classic episodic Trek, with very good writing in most of its episodes, even if the first season was a bit weak at spots. Even then, parts of the first season were still interesting. It really hits its stride on the 3rd season.
DS9 is my favorite Trek. It tackled darker themes that TNG and Roddenberry didn’t want to touch, shades of gray that exposed cracks in the Federation, but still remains Star Trek. It didn’t completely throw away the ideals of the Federation in a weakly-written, grimdark manner like Picard. DS9 had some of the best written episodes, and by the 2nd or 3rd season, it was (copying off of B5) telling an overarching narrative that really kept you interested.
Though, Babylon 5 is the series that really started the whole narrative approach to sci-fi. I love both B5 and DS9, but DS9 did steal a ton of ideas from the B5 bible that JMS gave Paramount, during his initial pitch. DS9 had a lot of really good individual episodes, but I thought Babylon 5 had a better, more memorable narrative.
Voyager has some very low lows and some very high highs. I enjoyed the whole “wheres your prime directive now eh?” aspect of it, and 7 of 9 is a really fun character

Tng, voyager, and ds9 are some of the best tv ever made. Im also quite fond of most of the original but a lot of it hasnt aged too well.

I love the holo doc too.
Very good character yes! Esp after he can leave the medbay
Fully agreed on B5 and DS9. Unmatched in many ways.
