Lower Decks, no question. It doesn't seem all that great at first, but when the show gets into its groove and finds voices for its characters, it becomes much more compelling. The first episode is meh, but by the time you get to the end of the first season, you'll be a fan.
Star Trek Prodigy is also good for its intended audience, and arguably better than the first animated Trek. (Certainly more of a treat for the eyes.) It was cancelled on Paramount Plus, but there are rumors it will come to a different streaming service.
I've powered through 4 episodes of "Prodigy" and I'm really struggling. The main kid Dal is so extraordinarily annoying. I mean, I know they did this with (sorry for the cross-realm reference) Ahsoka in "Clone Wars", so I just need to hear that there's some character growth coming, because I can't stand him.
Yes and it starts before too much longer.
Dal's growth is very satisfying to see, not long to wait too if you're at EP 4 already
