      Start with either The Original Series or Next Generation. There’s a lot of structure that gets laid down in those series that other installments rely on heavily. I think Deep Space 9 might also be a good one to get in to early.

        TNG then TOS, then release order is the best TBH. you can throw in TAS whenever you want after you’ve seen TOS. I’s good for when you’re high. don’t listen to the people who tell you to skip enterprise it’s good. watch the frist two seasons of discovery, then you can watch more discovery or strange new worlds. lower decks is any time after voyager, which is during or after DS9 which you must have seen TNG for and TOS for maximum enjoyment

      honestly, if you want a more modern show without any baggage you need to get over if you aren’t used to watching pre 2000 tv, watch strange new worlds. imo it’s the only modern trek that even remotely captures the star trek vibe. and i think it nails it…

      it may be sacrilege to say that, but i genuinely think it’s the best overall presentation. if you like it, you’ll probably like the older ones too, and might find it easier to approach them if you can get hooked by the very high production value new show.

    Very cool timeline!

    I found one error: Star Wars was released 5/25/77 not 23rd.

    In a situation like this, for broad illustrative purpose, no big deal. And I really love this journey that’s been charted. However as a Sci Fi fan looking to learn, and one who knew this date immediately, though not others, I just wonder about the correctness of other data.
