Best order to get into the show without having to watch everything? - eviltoast

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!

    I’ll give it a shot for TOS.

    Top 10, plus bonuses:

    - Space Seed. Great episode, plus backstory for The Wrath of Khan, which is my favorite ST movie by far.

    - The Trouble With Tribbles. But they’re cute!

    - Mirror, Mirror. The original mirror universe ep. Bonus: The Enemy Within.

    - Amok Time. Spock, amok.

    - Arena. Gorn wrasslin’!

    - Balance of Terror. Those Romulan dastards. Bonus: The Enterprise Incident.

    - The Doomsday Machine. Great ep.

    - The City on the Edge of Forever. Best overall ep?

    - The Devil in the Dark. Personal favorite.

    - The Naked Time. Great ep, much Spockage.
