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.

Start with The Next Generation, just remember the first two seasons are the weakest by far. Really picks up in S3/4.

Then do DS9 and Voyager. Enterprise is worth watching if you get there.

Or start watching Strange New Worlds, it's freaking awesome and modern but has the same feel as old Trek.

I tried watching TNG a few times and holy shit it was so bad. There's no way I can slog through two seasons to get to the decent bits

Start with s3e1, wayyy better

@nutbiggums @Son_of_dad There's an episode in Season 2 "Q Who" that you should watch before plowing into Season 3 since it introduces the borg. Otherwise, you're not missing much, and if you really end up loving the series you can always go back and watch the first two seasons with rose colored glasses.
