I tried starting from the beginning a few years back but the production value is a little too rough for me to ignore its flaws since I have no investment in or dedication to the show yet.

I’m wondering if I can watch lower decks or whatever the new live action show is and get into Star Trek that way.

    I have kind of a background knowledge, but did exactly that and have almost finished Lower Decks. It is the first ST thing i’ve watched for years, and yeah there are some references but overall I think you’d really enjoy it without knowing about the full history.

    About to start of Strange New Worlds :)

        It’s definitely a lot more enjoyable if you’re familiar enough with Star Trek to get all the references, because there are a lot. But it’s still enjoyable with no context.
