Your mileage will vary with this one. I watched it as a Star Trek completionist. While it was great to see much of the original cast return, along with the more creative stories, this series just lacks the same heart of the original series, in favor of a more action oriented one.
That is to be forgiven of course. After all, this was a half hour long Saturday morning cartoon, so it would stand to reason that the characters would end up becoming cardboard cutouts, while the plots would be shallow to an extent.
Still, there is a lot to like here. Many of the writers of the original show came back to this one, and they created several great stories that would otherwise not have made it into the original series, because they would have been too expensive.
Unliek the original series, I'm probably not going to watch this one again anytime soon, but I still believe it is a worthwhile watch.
