I guess I liked the darker kind of Trek that was ToS Movies more than anything - TMP and Wrath of Kahn, and I really wanted to see something in that direction.
DS9 got close to scratching that itch, but was also rather too derivative of Babylon 5 which IMO did everything it was trying to do somewhat better.
I really miss the slower-paced, philosophical and cerebral content of TNG though. What Star Trek did best was that. Put us in a place and give us something to think about.
The newer series really don’t do that for me in any shape way or form.
At least we have Orville - as others have already said.
Unfortunately I’m pretty sure Orville is dead now. I haven’t heard anything about a new season in ages and they would have had one out by now if they’d been working on one.
