TOS could be downright goofy sometimes. Tribbles, Harry Mudd and his android wives, Spock jamming with the Space Hippies™. Sure, there were heavier episodes like City on the Edge of Forever, but ... c'mon, it was the 60s! Not everything could be US Space Navy vs the Evil Aliens.

I'm genx with an elder sibling that watched TOS during it's initial broadcast, so I grew up on a steady diet of Trek, loved TNG when it started and am loving SNW so far (still in s01).
A couple of choices have gotten the old single raised eyebrow, but less "that ain't canon" and more of a "huh, that's a cool twist" kind of way.
Whatever they're doing with Trek these days, I'm eating it up. Lower Decks, too, for what it's worth.
To be fair, TOS didn't really go hard on Spock+Chapel, but even being a doofus kid, I shipped it.
Unfortunately it ends with an unresolved cliffhanger. Although I feel like they dropped enough hints that you could kind of imagine how the next season would go.
Don't let that stop you. The show sputters here and there, but the story is intriguing. Anyone that complains has clearly never seen seasons 1 & 2 of ST:TNG, and Dark Matter's entire run is only 39 eps.
And with all due respect to Brent Spiner, Zoie Palmer as the android is *fantastic*.

It was terrible if you were expecting magic-wielding Chosen Ones and laser swords. If you enjoy anything else, it was outstanding.
