Where to start? (sh.itjust.works)

I want to get into the Star Trek universe but dont know where to start. I have previously seen first three seasons of Disocvery and first season of picard. Picard was cool but disocvery didnt quite track, a little boring and not adventure focused enough. However loving lower decks now (just started season 4) and want to get into the more canon stuff.

I have access to TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise and SNW. TOS i could probanly get access to if i want, but gotta admit that is not very enticing.

So where to start? TNG?

If it helps (and i dont get shunned for this), i am a stargate guy and love especially sg-1 and the adventure of the week format and the character ensemble

TNG season 1 is a good start its rough around the edges and if it starts to look like the movie "Coming to America" go ahead and skip that episode. Just watch knowing it's going to get better like Park and Rec but it sets up a lot of storylines that will pay off later and some classic episodes that people forget are season 1 like "Datalore".

If you remember enjoying Datalore I would advise you never watch it again. It definitely is important to watch from a lore (no pun intended) perspective, but it is actually extremely awkward lol

You know what you are correct i should have done a search before posting thanks for the correction

If us Star Trek nerds can't get our facts straight, what hope for humanity?

It’s okay to be wrong! He corrected himself and thanked you — that good sir is what a Trekkie should do. The first duty is to the truth.
