I’ve been wanting to get into Star Trek, but I’m not sure the best place to start. I’m sure there’s a wide range of opinions.
Some shows ‘get good after season 1’. I’m a little worried that I’ll end up picking a star trek show with a weak start and then dropping it before the parts people actually like. I vaguely remember reading these sort of comments about TNG.
If you like classics, I say start all the way back with the original! It’s fun, very 1960s, and largely episodic (because it was uncommon for people to watch it in order back then). It was meant to draw in a wide audience and introduce them to Trek ideas, so it’s entertaining to see where it all started.
