I started watching Strange New Worlds the other week, I've really enjoyed the writing! The only other Trek media I've seen were the Abrams movies, which were okay I guess. I understand Strange New Worlds is a prequel to the original series, is it worth it to watch the original series after I finish it? Are there any series to avoid?

To be honest, Next Gen, Voyager, and Enterprise are also pretty rife with sexist tropes. The '90s were their own flavour of "a different time". DS9 mostly avoids it, as do the modern shows. Though I do have some beef with how SNW is letting Chapel's character slide closer and closer to her TOS counterpart...

    Luckily I'm mature enough to hold to my own values and just grimace at a painful bit of writing. I live in Southern USA so I've seen a fair bit worse than sexist tropes on TV :( I'm happy the fans seem to call this stuff out nowadays
