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?

The Original Series is good if you enjoy that sort of over-the-top 60s-era adventure camp.
TNG is consistently good. DS9 is not just the best Star Trek show, but actually one of the best television series ever produced in terms of the overall quality of the writing. You just have to get through the first half of Season 1 and it takes off.
Voyager sucked. They had a great foundation and a really good idea for a novel series but they completely threw away all of that potential and it just became a generic monster-of-the-week show with shallow characters. Even Enterprise was better than Voyager, and that's not saying much.
DS9 is just a ripoff of Babylon 5, except without the forethought so it's a mess with bad characters, bad writing, and proto-SJW morality.
We're suppose to like the always victim-card playing Bajorans, or creme to the gender-fluid/tranny Dax? Worse-than-Wesley kids featured more prominently? Affirmative-action Nog getting into star fleet, what a joke!
It's a show that if you didn't have teenage raging hormones at the time you watched it (pre-internet) you certainly wouldn't say best series ever produced - far from it.
There are SOME good DS9 episodes.
For example, the Circle trilogy (S2E1-3).
