Only half-kidding. Every Trek fan should watch Star Trek Continues. It has fun for a while, including a cheeky sequel to Mirror, Mirror, then it goes hard and has a finale that rivals the films.
All while perfectly mimicking the visual style of the DesiLu production.
Its position alongside canon is that it connects the abrupt end of The Original Series with The Motion Picture in a very believable way. Visualizing the end of the five-year mission.

For those of us that are into set design, lighting, cinematography, etc. the first minute of the cold-open in episode 1 goes hard too. If they kept a 4:3 aspect ratio (I think) and added some film grain, I would have struggled to tell them apart. They did a phenomenal job here.
Haven’t read much beyond that, so I’m not sure how “Trek” it’ll be. That episode ends with them escaping to the online game with the Star Trek Space Fleet mods removed. Still, there’s plenty of potential and there aren’t really any bad episodes of Black Mirror.
SpoilerHopefully Jimmi Simpson isn’t still burning alive in the plasma conduits 😬
Edit: Though I guess I should note that Matt Berry doesn’t show up until I think the second season, or maybe the very end of the first. Still, it’s worth it all the way through
