    Star trek is like an old friend you can talk with for hours. Makes you comfy, makes you laugh, makes you ponder your existence and mortality, and every time you meet they have a new story to tell you.

    As to where to start: If you can handle old shows The Original Series is really amazing for what it is.

    If you can’t then no worries The Next Generation is a safe bet, but maybe try to skip the first two seasons on your first watch, some of the episodes are painfully mediocre, and the show was still trying to find its footing.

    If you want a modern show, then Strange New Worlds is currently running and has some qualities of the old Trek

      SNW is amazing Trek I fully expected to have mixed feelings about. I especially love the remixed versions of some of the music, like that bit of the TOS theme coming through as it trails off

        TBH I was pleasantly surprised by SNW as well. I had written off the newer series after trying to like DSC for like 2.5 seasons…

        It’s still not great, SNW pales in comparison to TOS for example (especially those episodes that take direct ‘inspiration’), but it’s decent enough to watch. Guess I’m just a Old Trek Geezer or whatever.

        LOW is a different genre IMHO, loved almost every episode. But of course you have to know your Trek to appreciate the series.
