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.

    Other people have already given some good recommendations, so I won’t reiterate that!

    What I would say is that each show to a greater or lesser degree has its own tone and style, some of it intentional and some due to the era it was made. So if you don’t end up liking one of the shows, there’s probably a few more out there that you will!

    And if you do start with Lower Decks, be sure to come back to it after you’ve seen some of the other shows! It’s completely packed with sometimes obscure references to the other shows.

    Whichever direction you go, I hope you enjoy it! I know I have over the years. 🖖🖖

      thanks, I’m really excited to finally get started and I’ll definitely go your route.

      if there are too many references. I feel like you’re flying over my head I’ll move on to something earlier and go with what feels right.

      I dare say that the incredible volume of ST names on Lemmy have maybe prepared me for some of that?
