@dumples so far, Strange New Worlds is the best of the New Trek, so far it's been all killer no filler
Both Picard and Discovery have high highs and low lows, so your mileage with them will vary
Strange New Worlds is the best show, but Picard season 3 is by far the best single season. Picard season 3 can also be watched without needing to see season 1 (which is decent) or season 2 (which is mostly dire).
I think I will wait on Picard and Discovery then. I would love to get hooked and the good shows first and then fill in
I'm gonna go the other way and recommend Discovery before Strange New Worlds. Canonically, SNW happens after Discovery and even refers to it at times. Also, people like to hate on Discovery but I found Discovery so much better than most modern Trek. It brought dramatic cohesion to the ST universe and abandoned the silly episodic crap that had no ties with the episodes before or after it.
By and large episodic is what Star Trek fans want. At least to some extent.
