Star Trek: Enterprise

That's the prequel right? I watched a few episodes of it. Not the best Star Trek series... it seemed like it was on par with TOS for how bad the writing was.

It is set before the original Star Trek show, yes. It's the story of NX-01, the first deep space starship from earth.

The writing was horrible.

I think the writing is decent. They were struggling with trying to show the less than ethical origins of the prime directive. If you look at it from a perspective that they finally decided to tackle how bad the PD is, and start to show the mistakes made in coming to think that they should do it, the show seems better written. It's showing the failing, not the success, of humanity.

Although now having seen The Orville, that's by far the more mature and ethically responsibly written show.
