I feel like someone should redo Star Trek but where it's effectively a Twilight Zone-like short film every episode where they explore a new weird thing in a remote world using the same characters/cast.
They've brought back both of those shows recently but the execution was terrible.

Something like half of Star Trek is actually Twilight Zone body horror in disguise. If it were realistic, the entire crew would have terrible PTSD.

Most New Trek can only really be described as cultural vandalism, but I would say Strange New Worlds rises to the level of "not all bad".

I enjoy Strange New Worlds most of the time, it was a breath of fresh air after trying to watch some of the other shows. Definitely not perfect, but it feels like they're at least trying to make a compelling product. I wish it was a new ship with a new crew though, I want to see new characters! Fortunately I have box sets of all the older shows, so I don't have a shortage of good Trek.
