I only have vague memories of most of it from watching it as a kid, but recently my spouse and I decided to give it a watch one night and made it through the first 7-ish episodes. About half of the stories were "meh" but the other half were actually pretty good by TOS standards.

Mind you that's just the stories. The animation itself is definitely a limiting factor, and a lot of what happens is either very sparsely animated or they literally have characters explaining what's happening rather than fully animating the events. A weird upside of that is that most episodes are practically radio plays, and you can just listen to the audio and understand what's going on.

Star Trek peaked with the show that I specifically watched when I was twelve years old. Everything else is too cheesy, tastless, tacky, or boring, but not the show that hooked me when I, specifically, was twelve years old. That's a fact.

Ha! I hadn't thought of that actually. Since some people don't like Lower Decks I guess it works for both. Or heck all three since there are Prodigy haters too.
