    Deep Space 9 was fairly accurate with shields as the show progressed, though they didn't show the impacts in the fleet shots during the Dominion War arc in favour of having more ships on the screen.

    Way of the Warrior was a good example of the shields purposely not being used due to the situation and the Defiant instead having to lean on the ablative armour and a tractor beam to combat incoming fire.

    Even in ST:VI the shields seemed to be essentially useless against torpedoes at least. Several of them go right through the Enterprise's shields and all the way through the saucer.

    Shields in Star Trek only seem to work when the plot requires it. I think Voyager was the only show I recall being fairly consistent with shields, and Discovery in it's later part of S2 onwards.
    I agree, on that fight with General Chang the Enterprise literally had no shields considering every torpedo went through the hull. Well at least it's a bit more effective compared to Kelvin Timeline.
