Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is the newest entry into the franchise that has been going on for decades and it's been clear from the jump that the new series is wanting to go back to the franchise roots. While some of the attempts to do that has been a bit over the top, for the most part the show seems to have found the perfect balance. Strange New Worlds is technically an offshoot of Star Trek: Discovery but it's definitely looking like it's trying to find a way to blaze its own path.
