Spent 20 minutes trying to find a thread that fit what I wanted but everyone seems to be willing to watch all of Star Trek. I tried TOS and while it's not bad I don't want to watch every single episode of Star Trek to get into the show...

What's the best order to watch the most universally enjoyed Star Trek series' and movies? I really enjoyed Lower Decks as a fan of Final Space and Strange New World's looks incredible. I want to start with the earlier series but not have to watch all of it!

Gasp. Even with a courtroom episode whose outcome could alter the Federation as we know it?

Edit: lol, timely posting of a relevant meme in the Risa community: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/334726

spoilerMeh, not really any interesting exploration of ideas, first episode was action, second one was courtroom drama with flawed premises, yeah Federation is against augments and it's a bull-headed stance considering the universe they're in, victory or loss in this courtroom doesn't make me examine any philosophical position, it's just random storytelling.

I read nods to undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers.

It has come a long way from the TOS days when their episode on racial discrimination was aliens with literal half black and half white faces, warring parties divided by which color was on which side of their bodies.

There's a lot-- a lot-- of trans subtext in it too.
