    Watch The Next Generation. First 2 seasons are not great, you can watch them later. Just watch these:

    • Season 1 Episode 1
    • Season 1 Episode 13
    • Season 1 Episode 26
    • Season 2 Episode 9
    • Season 2 Episode 16
    • Any other recommendations from others here.

    Then watch Season 3 and on, preferably every episode. AMAZING.

    Then watch all of Deep Space 9 in order.

    Again the first season isn't amazing, but it's worth watching. It's better than TNG's first season. The later seasons are AMAZING. Watch it in order. It's not completely serialized, but it's still a lot better when you treat it as a serial. DS9 was my least favorite Trek when I saw random episodes as a kid, and now it's my absolute favorite.

    There's a lot of other good Star Trek but those are the best. In one episode of DS9 a Ferengi becomes radicalized by an Irish communist descendant of a union miner, organizes a union under threat of death, and directly quotes Karl Marx.

      Yeah, I was looking through the TNG episodes one by one, finding which are absolutely worth seeing, and I ended up just listing every episode from season 3 onward. I think it's just worth following what you recommended, seasons 3+ has like an 85% hit or miss ratio.
