I really liked the idea of ENT. When they changed direction, I really didn't enjoy it anymore.
I think most people feel the exact opposite about it though.
I'm probably a minority, but I liked it overall. It wasn't perfect, but none of the other series were either. 🤷♂️
It was nice seeing Starfleet in its early days and how the Vulcans both helped and hindered humanity's progress after First Contact. The Vulcans, in particular, were interesting because for as logical and enlightened as they claimed to be, they still harbored a lot of bigotry and close-mindedness in their society. Archer calling them out on that was probably one of the highlights of the series. We also got to see Vulcans that fully embraced their emotions as well as some like T'Pol and Ambassador V'Lar who were "emotion-curious".
I also liked how the tech was closer to what NASA might build in 50 or 60 years and watching tech like the Universal Translator get developed. My only major gripes with ENT were the pandering decontamination scenes and that they started using the transporters more and more as the show went on.
It had its moments, but the overall plot was a mess. It started getting good in Season 4.
I couldn't watch after sometime in season 3... I started to view archer as a bad guy which ruins it.
IIRC they wrapped up the whole Xindi debacle and got back to some old-school swashbuckling.
