I don't have Paramount+ but I've kept up with some of the news about Strange New Worlds rebooting into a new timeline.
So what Star Trek shows do you consider canon now?
In my mind, of the newer series, only Picard is a genuine continuation of the TOS/TNG/DS9/VOY universe.
As I've said before in other contexts, I think prequels bite. The idea of the Kelvin universe as both sequel and prequel was good in principle but poor in execution albeit legitimised by the presence of Leonard Nimoy as Spock Prime. Even before that I had the feeling that Enterprise was really an alternate timeline created by the events of First Contact, and the newest shows strike me as filmed fanfiction, or at best, the equivalent of non-canon novels.
