It's Star Trek DS9
Added to watch list. Thank you 🙏🏻
If you're new to the series, just tough it out for the first one or two seasons. They're good, but it gets WAY better at S3.
Extremely new. Watched Lower Decks recently. My brother recommends TNG before DS9. Says it’ll be much more fun this way.
Lower decks has nearly constant references to the other shows. If you end up watching and enjoying the others, then you'll have rewatch lower decks for some solid hidden gems!
Similar to DS9, TNG takes a season or two to find its footing. The person who introduced me had me skip the entire first season of TNG then come back to it later.
TNG is great, chronologically it comes right before DS9 and the two intersect in DS9's first episode. Knowing the events leading up to that point adds a lot of subtext both to the episode, and the world-building and political landscape later on. I can't say it's absolutely required, but if you do watch it, you won't regret it.
Just... again, tough it out for the "pre-beard" first season. It's rough.
They overlap. I was nerd enough to sort all episodes of TNG, DS9 and VOY and watch them in order of first release. It does make sense since some story lines go through all 3 series or at least 2
Star Trek TNG the first season is a bit miserable, but slowly gets good as the writers find out wtf they're doing. There's of course the original Star Trek, from 1960s, and it's absolutely beautiful but needs quite a bit of 1960s media appreciation to fully "get". It's also cheesy as fuck considering the budget lol
I'd recommend trying to watch TOS before TNG if you can. It's aged a lot, so no shame if you cant. Just skip ahead to TNG if TOS isn't your cup of tea. If you can manage it though, its only 3 seasons and some movies and you'll appreciate some good episodes of TNG and DS9 a lot more if you enjoyed TOS first.
