Unlike many classic works of sci-fi, Star Trek offered an optimistic vision of humanity’s future — one where democracy triumphs, exploitation is ended, and everyone’s material needs are met.
Strange New Worlds is quite good if you haven’t seen it, it sort of goes back to that more optimistic utopian vision of solving problems through negotiation, justice and diplomacy. The production and casting are great too.
The original TV shows were indeed very progressive, but the movies ruined everything on so many levels.

Thanks for the recommendation. I wasn’t very optimistic about it TBH
