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!

    Why the rush?

    Are you cramming for a test?

    Why don’t you want to watch all of it?

    the most universally enjoyed Star Trek series’ and movies?

    People are different, opinions differ. There is no correct answer to this.

    My opinion:

    Best OG movie: Star Trek 2

      I was wondering the same thing, especially because TOS is my favorite!! It’s only 3 seasons long, and for me each episode is an absolute gem.

      Totally agree on Star Trek II being the best movie. TOS S1E22 explores the backstory of the film’s villain.
