    True, in old trek they too had “we know better” thing, but the feeling was different (for me), as in they were hopeful in tone and intentionally tried to be non-violent even in situations where it would be a lot easier to just force their way. I will look at Prodigy again, thank you for recommendation.

      I don’t find Strange New World for example particularly violent, even compared to old trek. It is sometimes grittier when exploring how war traumatizes people caught up in it, sure but I don’t think that’s what you mean.

      However, that is not what’s being criticized usually. Most complaints about new trek being “woke” is about stuff like the inclusion of a gay couple or nonbinary characters.
