Strange New Worlds was interesting at first, but also with characters that did not feel like the professional Star Fleet personal I was used to.
SNW is set before TOS; of course they’re not going to be as professional as TNG, it was the early days. It compares well with TOS, but still isn’t without its flaws (eg musical episode).
Discovery was indeed crap (in my opinion), it’s just a modern generic SciFi show with Star Trek branding. Lower Decks is only meant to be a bit of fun fan service, it turns the Starfleet goodie two shoes-ness up to 11, while pulling back on professionalism to turn it into a workplace comedy. I get the feeling you won’t like Prodigy either, it’s very much child oriented.
However I think you should reconsider your expectations. We’re not going to get another TNG 30 years after that show, expecting something the same but new is only going to be disappointing. I’d recommended giving SNW another go, and also maybe catching up with Lower Decks ahead of the SNW crossover episode.

I don’t know why you would point to the best episode so far when talking about flaws…
Lmao OK, it’s the Marmite episode.
I think really I just absolutely detest autotune.
