I poked around a while and couldn't find anything, I see memes from y'all all the time and the progressive nature of Star Trek has got me. I wanna watch it.

This was my start:

Strange new worlds (best) Picard Deep Space 9 Voyager (not a fan) The next generation (good) Back to ds9 (favorite)

Voyager, TNG, DS9 Have watched these dozens of times. TOS for the history of it. ST - The Animated Series and Lower Decks.

If you start with the new it will be hard to go back to the old. If you are not Trekkie / nerdy person, start with voyager and go newer. If you like well written intelligent shows and don’t mind it sometimes being slower, next generation is definitely the best starting point and go forward.

I’m gonna get flamed for this but I would personally skip deep space nine. Everyone loves it but I couldn’t get into it. Requires numerous episodes to be watched to latch on potentially.

Newer shows aren’t bad, but they lose alot of what made the originals great. Strange new worlds is good. Picard is ok, way different than the other shows but good. Discovery is new age and just not that great, it’s really odd after watching all the others.

Enterprise is forgettable but worth watching.

The original series is really only for the die hards at this point.

If you're a kid, start with Prodigy. If you have a tiny attention span, start with Lower Decks. If you're used to mainstream modern TV, start with Strange New Worlds. If you can tolerate 90s TV, start with TNG season 2. If you love old TV, start with TOS.

The best entry point is going to depend on who you are. There's lots of diverse Trek for different kinds of people.
