As a kid i loved watching the next generation and deep space 9 with my dad. Ive always liked sci fi, more of a (stargate fan) and wanted to get back into star trek, but Im just so lost on timelines and whats going on. There are like 6 kirks and I have no idea how/where to get started with watching this again.

Start with The Next Generation, just remember the first two seasons are the weakest by far. Really picks up in S3/4.

Then do DS9 and Voyager. Enterprise is worth watching if you get there.

Or start watching Strange New Worlds, it's freaking awesome and modern but has the same feel as old Trek.

I stand by my claim that TNG is better when Riker has a beard and its best when Geordi has a beard!

I rewatched TNG in its entirety during peak pandemic. Season 1 is pretty painful, but the rest holds up well. I tried to watch DS9 afterwards and bounced off it pretty hard. It’s got such a different vibe from TNG. Voyager is a little closer to TNG, but missing some of the campiness that I enjoy.

I’m really liking Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and Picard Season 3 (avoid Picard Seasons 1&2 at all costs, just skip them as they have nothing to do w/ S3).
