Well shit in that case I wonder where I should start
Lower Decks seems like the most accessible, though I haven't seen it.
Lower Decks is made of at least 50% inside jokes and organic fun-pokery. Which is brilliant if you already know Star Trek but probably very whooshy if not. Is what I'd say if I didn't know there are indeed people who got into Star Trek starting with Lower Decks which confuses me endlessly.
It is reference heavy and you can usually tell when they're making a reference but it's usually funny or charming enough that not knowing the references doesn't take away enjoyment. Then you watch tng, ds9 and voy save rewatch lower decks and realize most of that insane cartoon stuff was actually pulled from the old shows. It's great.
