You know, the ones more likely to be written like a show written in 2017.

Also, focusing on the first officer is a great idea. Why? Because then the captain won't keep leaving the ship whenever a space thingymajiggy appears and actually does their job! No more of the ship can't function because Kirk went on a space adventure. Novel!
I'd say there is only one true star trek show and that was TOS. The rest are just ensemble soap opera shows. J/K. But this show looks like it is going to hoover.
