There's a lot of folks who do prefer the more traditional episodic storytelling than the longer form serialized storytelling, it is very much why some folks are not digging new-Trek. But this is a shift in TV storytelling at large, it isn't just Star Trek.
While I LOVE ST: Discovery and ST: Picard, I would also love to see a new episodic show with storytelling similar to classic Trek. Perhaps where everything isn't quite reset to base at the end of every single episode and a stronger season arc . . .
What your looking for is The Orville! It may have started as a Trek homage/parody but it has really matured. Sure there's more toilet humor than Trek ever had (It's a Seth McFarlane vehicle after all) but the episodes, particularly the later ones are really solid. I would put up Identity (1 & II, 2nd season) up against any Trek episode for quality.
