I love the original series. Seeing them push boundaries of the 1960s and set the groundwork for the rest of Trek is so entertaining to me.
I feel like I'm pretty good at watching old shows/movies through a lens of the time in which they were made though, which helps a lot here:
the overacting and stage-like mannerisms
some extra heavy-handed moral lessons
the close up, vaseline on the lens, glamour shots for every woman they meet (and Kirk).
It's all great.
It's pure camp and I love it.
