What "third generation" Trek is worth watching?

I started with Star Trek after watching the Star Trek (2009) movie in college. After that I went wild watching everything I could since I was young with loads of time. I watched most of TOS, all of TNS, all of DS9, all of Voyager, all of Enterprise and all of the movies. I then stopped since I didn't have the time and wasn't... #star

Definetly give Lower Decks a chance. Strange New Worlds is really good too imo. Its worth noting that it is a spinoff of Discovery. Specifically season 2 I think.

Do I need to watch Discovery ahead of time? Or is it the classic Star Trek move characters into a new show trick?

discovery is not star trek and it is not good "non star trek" show. also it has completely new and unknown characters except for a brief appearance of pre-kirk enterprise, which lead to spinoff called strange new worlds, which is excellent). you are not missing anything if you skip it.

I disagree completely. It definitely was Star Trek, and was independently a good show. It just abandoned the typical episodic story containing trope that Star Trek uses in lieu of the more modern season-long plot. Its definitely not for everyone, but the only times I thought it was lacking was when it tried to appease those that like the more episodic path which came off as filler (alternate dimension episode).
