I want to get into the Star Trek universe but dont know where to start. I have previously seen first three seasons of Disocvery and first season of picard. Picard was cool but disocvery didnt quite track, a little boring and not adventure focused enough. However loving lower decks now (just started season 4) and want to get into the more canon stuff.

I have access to TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise and SNW. TOS i could probanly get access to if i want, but gotta admit that is not very enticing.

So where to start? TNG?

If it helps (and i dont get shunned for this), i am a stargate guy and love especially sg-1 and the adventure of the week format and the character ensemble

My main advice is: Don't be afraid to skip an episode if you watch it and you don't like it. Especially the early seasons of TNG, DS9 and Voyager have some episodes which can easily be skipped. You won't lose any context.

Yea need to rewire my mindset there, but this is a recurring rec so i think it is one i definitely must heed!

There are several guides on what episode can / should / mustn't be skipped.

Let's watch Star Trek has it for every classic show: https://www.letswatchstartrek.com/tng-episode-guide/

But there are of course other guides and as they're subjective ratings you might want to give episodes a chance even if others didn't like them.
