MODERATORS
Strange New Worlds is great! Since you've already seen DS9 and TNG that'd be my next pick for most enjoyment.
Discovery and Lower Decks are good too! But Picard doesn't get my recommendation.
Watch order isn't important. There's a little crossover between Discovery and Strange New Worlds, but you there are only two details from Disco that carry into SNW, and those are recapped thoroughly in SNW.
There is a little interaction between SNW and Lower Decks
SNW / Lower Decks
There's a great crossover episode in SNW season 2. It's worth getting to know the Lower Decks characters first to get the most out of that episode.There are three TOS episodes that are especially relevant to SNW from what I recall. The one I recommend watching is Balance of Terror.
SNW / TOS
SNW has lots of references to Pike's "fate", which you see in the TOS episode Glass Menagerie. It's optional IMO. Btw Glass Menagerie includes a recut / retelling of the unaired pilot, which is my favorite episode of TOS. But the pilot doesn't have the beep chair.Season 1 has an homage to the TOS episode Balance of Terror. It will make more sense if you've seen that episode. And it's one of the best TOS episodes.
Season 3 has an appearance from a character who first appeared in the TOS episode The Squire of Gothos. It might add some context. Also optional IMO.
