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.
Where do I begin?
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.
It depends entirely on your tolerance for and/or exposure to the different style of older TV shows. If you’re accustomed to a slightly slower pace and a markedly lower production value, I’d recommend starting with The Next Generation or Deep Space 9 and just start binging. If the kitsch of 60s TV appeals to you, The Original Series is great, just very different in style.
Once you’ve got a dozen episodes under your belt, you’ll know whether a given series is your bag or not. But you might not like TOS and adore DS9, and so on.
Be prepared for some real stinkers at the beginning, and scattered throughout but just know that’s part of having 20+ episodes per season.
If you’d rather just catch up with the most current series, I’d say start with season 1 of Strange New Worlds. You really can’t go wrong starting there.
This sub has a wiki guiding you where to start. I followed it and decided to go with TNG first.
I’d say just watch Star Trek: Enterprise and call it good.
This was my start:
Strange new worlds (best) Picard Deep Space 9 Voyager (not a fan) The next generation (good) Back to ds9 (favorite)
