I started watching Star Trek religiously in 1987 with TOS, and VOY had for a long time benn the one Star Trek series that disappointed me and that I didn't like.
But with decades of distance and experience with post-2017 "NuTrek", I have a milder view on VOY. It's still not among my favorite shows, but DSC has taken the spot of the Star Trek show I can't stand. And in comparison to the trainwreck of DSC, it's easy to see the virtues of VOY, imo.
Just recently, I started a rewatch of VOY, and I'm at the end of season 3 by now. I enjoy it more than before, and compared to TOS/TNG/DS9, which I've rewatched over and over again, it's a huge benefit that there are many VOY episodes I hardly remember and that appear almost new to me.
So... on my personal ranking of the 11 Star Trek shows, VOY still only takes spot #8 or #9, but I have to say, I really enjoy it now after all.
