Lower Decks is the most respectful to the Prime universe canon. Picard fits into the universe, but made too many weird decisions in terms of ship designs, the number of uniform changes in the two decades since Nemesis, using graphics from the 1980s movie era, etc. It pandered to the fanbase WAY too much, especially in season 3. And despite what Alex Kurtzman and company are trying to gaslight us into believing, I feel that Discovery and Strange New Worlds are in their own universe. There’s just too many things different for me to buy that they exist in the same universe we saw from 1966 to 2005.
