It is a controversial show that’s for sure. Plus it isn’t nearly as good a series as DS9 overall - but it does capture that “adventuring spirit” from TOS and TNG better, and at the time when shows were watched more in isolation based on whatever came onto the TV when you wanted to watch something rather than binging in succession that was still an important factor in its popularity at the time. I definitely still recommend that show though.
Now Enterprise on the other hand… especially towards the end it literally crossed a line into being an absolute waste of my time imho. But Voyager isn’t that, so enjoy it! (as you said, not quite all of it but mostly :-P)
You are correct: the show absolutely destroyed my faith, faith of the heart. If I had not been on a quest to watch every single show ever made, I never would have managed to finish.:-(
I used to think that, and in some ways it’s true. I never really appreciated DS9 until much later. There is a ton of “drama” that coming from my sheer worship adoration of TNG, I didn’t like or enjoy at the time. Though later I came to appreciate the greater depth of the show, and looking back I even see TNG now as lacking the drama - IKR, SACRILEGE!? Fortunately they are both excellent shows, and have lots to offer everyone:-).
Also if you haven’t yet check out Earth: Final Conflict, which his wife Majel Rodenberry (computer voice woman) created from Gene’s notes, after he died. It’s a totally different show than any of the Star Treks, but he has such a versatile mind that basically everything he did was good - surely that speaks to enormous efforts made on his behalf to make them thus:-).

Voyager is way better than DS9 and I’ll die on that hill
