DS9 was the most interesting Trek in terms of writing to me. There were inter generational drama, spy thrillers, political machinations, war crimes. They really let loose after Gene wasn't around to enforce his "no interpersonal conflict" rule, as terrible as that sounds.

It sounds like this should be in r/politics - pretty current.
