I love TNG/DS9 and even Voyager. I miss those shows. But they are dated - at the very least because they were made 2 to three decades ago. The sets can look very plastic and junky, the graphics can be laughably bad, the costumes ill-fitting at times and ridiculous at others, etc. etc. etc.
The sound design and lighting was fine for it's time but doesn't fit a modern aesthetic. The action scenes are dorky and very staged.
Voyager, in particular seems to be fond of sprayed on sweat.
It's ok to love something and admit it was rather silly at times.
But the modern Trek shows haven't exactly wowed, with their reliance on colorization to set moods, surprisingly bad alien costumes, and lazy ship battles. It's not like half a dozen other skiffy franchises rely on those crutches, but I've not been too impressed.
To me the last time I was in awe at a Trek special effect was in Star Trek Beyond during the Starbase Yorktown scenes. THAT WAS AMAZING! I also though the Romulan mining vessel BadGuy or whatever was impressive, as was the Jellyfish.
The Trek movies have been a good place to see some really high quality effects and costumes, Trek TV not so much.
about effects. Give me characters I care about. VFX gets so much emphasis that it takes away a lot of enjoyment. "Oh, look at how pretty the VFX is!" is not complimentary in my view.
