In the 90s it felt like we may be working towards that idealism, aftwards…not so much. Plus after mid 2000s/2010 everything wanted to be gritty which doesn’t work for Star Trek. That said I haven’t watched any series since Enterprise(on my list just not up there), but the recent movies felt less like Star Trek than the TNG ones.
Watch Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds! Lower Decks is a little Rick and Morty-ish in the first season but it’s still good. This is coming from someone who really doesn’t like DISCO or Picard.

Check out Strange New Worlds. It’s the trekkiest of all the new new treks.

You know, I think you’ve got it. The pitch for Enterprise was “What if we went back in time before even TOS when everyone was significantly shittier?”
