Star Trek used to be and maybe still is one of my favorite series. Honestly, DS9 and TNG were the only exceptional ones. TOS and ENT are not bad but TOS is going to be too dated for most people and ENT is more like what the alt-fans like who're trying to be edgy and go against the generally accepted views of star trek fans. Voyageur isn't really good but it's good enough that if you really like star trek you can watch it and enjoy it. I wouldn't recommend it. Everything else (besides the movies) aren't worth watching.

The problem with starting off with TNG is that season 1 and 2 are tough to get into and will be pretty dated today. You can tell it took the actors a bit of time to truly feel comfortable in their roles and producers/writers to really know where they were going with things. Once TNG got into its groove, it was great. DS9 starts off a lot better than TNG because it ran concurrently with TNG and after TNG started. By then the Star Trek series was at its peak. Everyone knew what they were doing by this time.

For new watchers I would ask yourself this question. Are you convinced you're going to power through the whole series no matter what or if you watch a few episodes and get bored, are you just going to stop watching and forget about it?

• If you're committed to watching everything no matter how bad it seems, then start with TNG.

• If you're not sure if you'll watch everything but want to see if maybe you'll like it then start with DS9.

Here's something to consider. Most Star Trek fans alive today (younger people) became Star Trek fans by watching an episode here or there when they were flicking through the TV channels. They never watched the whole series from start to finish themselves until likely after the series had ended but they had already watched some of the episodes to know it interested them enough for them to watch the whole series from start to finish. This is something to consider because I think if you only watched some of the best episodes first you might get hooked enough to consider watching everything else. There are some fans who theorize new people should only watch the best episodes. I would suggest if you started with TNG/DS9 and got bored of it to then google the best Star Trek episodes and watch those 10. If that isn't enough to hook you back into the series, then maybe forget about Star Trek altogether.
