Yes.

First Star Trek Discovery as a show is a generally ok show. It has good moments, it has bad moments, it has boring moments. It should have more good moments, but it has what it has.

As a Star Trek show, which is defined as the original Star Trek and 90s Trek (Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and maybe Enterprise depending who you ask), it isn't that. Strange New Worlds is mostly that.

Discovery is a lot more action heavy with a lot of focus on a particular character as opposed to a whole crew. We're not asking as much about humanity or philosophical questions.

Now Picard is a weird one. Each of the three seasons are wildly different. Season 1 is the style you would expect from Discovery. Season 2 was a big what if season. Season 3 was a one last ride nostalgia adventure.
