Trek has always been progressive...
... but it has traditionally been done well.
DS9 is the best Trek imho, there are 'modern progressive' elements through it, but the focus is generally just on character development and conflicts that need to be resolved.
One good example is an episode where the characters go back in time to segregation in the USA. You can feel the passion and authenticity in the portrayal of the injustices being done at the time.
Even the episode that, at the time, flouted the first same-sex kiss was done sensitively. One of the characters was a male (an alien, 'host') who had fallen in love with a woman. After he died a woman took on his symbiote. So when they meet in the episode, they are both women... And they kiss...

One of the best TV shows in the later seasons
There is mild woke as all Star Trek series have focused on casting every variety of human they can think of as the leads just because. Also they made a few characters bi/lesbian. It's annoying but the majority of relationships are between normal people so there's that.
But that is all the woke you can think of, everything else is human stories and thought provoking situations plus a fair bit of drama in the later seasons. Once you get the diversity hiring out of the way, the show and the characters they portray and their growth are simply unprecedented. It really feels like you're on a journey with them and the later seasons are just perfect. Individual episodes like The Visitor are also probably the best storytelling in TV history. It's also between black characters where the focus isn't that they're black but they're human, not vice versa which is what the current woke Left believes.
I suggest skipping Season 1 and 2 until you watch all other seasons first and then returning to it. I had great time with the show and it's my go to recommendation to all people interested in scifi and well done non-soapy drama. Only docking a point because the show takes a while to get it's footing right and it's mildly woke.
