I started with Star Trek after watching the Star Trek (2009) movie in college. After that I went wild watching everything I could since I was young with loads of time. I watched most of TOS, all of TNS, all of DS9, all of Voyager, all of Enterprise and all of the movies. I then stopped since I didn’t have the time and wasn’t ready to download a new app to watch Discovery.

I am interested in watching some of the new shows from Discovery onwards but don’t know where to start and what are worth watching. I no longer have hours to watch TV or movies anymore and want to prioritize series on an easy to find streaming service. What is worth watching and what is worth skipping? Is it worth while to watch them all the way chronically or just watch one series and then another one.

    Unpopular opinion: I have found even the worst trek to be enjoyable.

    First season of DS9? Rough but wouldn’t skip it.

    Voyager? A little heavy handed with some of the messaging, but still a blast.

    Discovery? Yeah, took awhile to find its way, still made me cry once or twice.

    Picard? Started a little slow. But it’s my last trip with Patrick Stewart (and probably most of them) so I’m not gonna complain.

    Cream of the crop: (IMO)

    Lower Decks
    Strange New Worlds

      I like when somebody else says what I was thinking way better than I ever could. I personally enjoyed each and every one of the new series. I think each one of them bring new and fun ideas to the universe, though I’m not saying they are perfect in any way.
