What I can say? They all are great! Some are better than others, but still is very enjoyable, why there is so mixed reviews about it? I can understand some specific complains, but that dosen't make it bad.

    Semi-unrelated question: I've watched Star Trek Voyager with my gf, she doesn't know any other Trek. I don't think we want to watch TOS, but will probably continue with TNG and DS9 next.

    Do you need to know the TOS characters like Kirk, Spock etc before watching their movies, or are they adequately introduced in the movies so you can watch them as someone completely ignorant?

      Star Trek Prodigy is the true sequel to Voyager. It’s all ages / family rather than the ‘kids show’ many fans take it for. I would watch that with your GF next.

      Because Prodigy is designed to be an entry point for new viewers, it introduces many of the key legacy characters and much of the lore. It has a Star Wars vibe in the pilot, mainly to draw in viewers from other franchises, but it settles into being some of the Trekiest content ever by the 6th short episode of season one.

      Just watch the movies, she most likely knows a bit about the characters through pop culture and they are written so you can easily follow them.
