Question above. My only experience is with a handful of episodes from the original series. They were OK, but I'm not sure I want to watch the whole thing. It's a little too low budget for me. Can I just jump into the movies or one of the later series?

I didn't have a favorite character for TOS. I laughed when they threw themselves all over the bridge because they were under fire. TNG, I wanted to be Geodie LaForge when I grew up. A few other characters changed ranks in my list, like Beverly, and Worf. But, that's the one that never did change.
I still read articles about TOS, and they broke boundaries. Klingon is a real language ( that's called conlanging btw), but TNG did better making Klingons a distinct warrior culture. I know there's a comment here that thinks simplicity is best. There's a middle ground.
DS9 was willing to have fun. But, if you remember Worf had a mixed son. It was definitely a moment I laughed, and not everyone got it. I didn't know the excuse for the Tribbles was sense of smell until I just looked it up though.
I enjoyed those characters, but they weren't top of the list often.
Of course Worf had a mixed son. Worf AND Alexander's mother were both mixed themselves.
I just watched a clip of those two, you can't tell Alexander's mom is mixed by looking at her ridges. She's lighter skin tone though. But, the story line makes a big deal about Alexander needing to be a warrior because that how people with less brow ridges have to prove themselves.
