DS9 > Lower Decks > Voyager > TNG > SNW > Prodigy > ENT > Disco > TOS > Picard (didn’t see TAS)

DS9 - deep storylines, amazing character arcs, best villains.

Lower Decks - plain old good humor drawing from all sources.

Voyager - passionate characters with a singular mission. Humanism at its finest, especially for the non-humans

TNG - what I grew up with. Iconic characters. Familiar/comfortable

SNW - a fresh new take with well known characters. Rejuvenating the feel of what the older series originally brought us.

Prodigy - love the animation and characters. For the kids, for the old trekkies, and for the new trekkies. A light take on Star Trek without having to delve deep into too much lore.

The rest have value but I cant quite suggest them to my friends who aren’t as familiar with earlier series or to just pick up and watch as a standalone series.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won’t be punished for trying.
Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There’s a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it’s vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a “controversial” message for it to be allowed.
Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a “spammy” message must be applicable to four purple answers before it’s allowed.
Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it “would be a copyright violation if the info was art” as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar’s Number) or less, it’s considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
