As a kid i loved watching the next generation and deep space 9 with my dad. Ive always liked sci fi, more of a (stargate fan) and wanted to get back into star trek, but Im just so lost on timelines and whats going on. There are like 6 kirks and I have no idea how/where to get started with watching this again.

Go back and finish Deep Space Nine if you didn't watch it consistently, it's great and probably the most adult Trek. If you're looking for less of a commitment, Strange New Worlds is great. The only plot point you need to know going into it is

spoiler

Pike has seen his future and knows he's destined to become severely paralysed

Discovery is pretty standalone but it's a very odd show. Everyone is very emotional and every episode is super dramatic. Not to everyone's taste but good if you want a Trek that reflects more modern TV.

Enterprise gets quite good as well, despite it's flaws.

Ent season 1: ehh, I guess I'll keep watching

Ent season 2: well, that was better than s1

Ent season 3: man, that was really good

Ent season 4: oh boy, I can't wait for season 5

Ent finale: No. Try again.
