      It’s definitely one of the series of all time.

      Seriously though, there’s a lot of nostalgia service in that series, which won’t increase enjoyment for non trekkies. My point is, if you’re looking to get into the franchise, there are better entry points. Just create a post about it with what genres and storylines you usually like and you’ll have plenty of recommendations.

        I watched TOS and Next Gen with my father a long, long time ago when I was a little kid. I have a lot of nostalgia for the series, even though I never got into any Trek after those two.

        I have a fondness for Picard, Ryker, and LaForge 🙂 , even though I haven’t watched them or any other Trek since I was about 10.

          I suggest re-watching TNG then. It holds up surprisingly well, and watching it with the eyes of an adult is completely different.

          I had watched it first as a kid too and can wholeheartedly recommend this approach. I even cried a little at the series finale, felt like saying goodbye to some good friends.
