Star Trek: Voyager
Voyager may have a bit of a reputation for its uneven quality at times, but in many ways it’s kind of the perfect dip-in, dip-out show for a beginner to start with. One of its greatest weaknesses might be that it gives up on its intriguing premise—stranded Starfleet and guerrilla fighters forced to work together to survive being lost in space—pretty quickly to become a standard episodic series, but its largely unchanging nature means you can hop in anywhere with the series and experience a slice of, on the whole, pretty solid Star Trek.
Start Here If…: You want Star Trek that’s just right—classic feeling but not retro, great highs and weird lows, and largely very episodic.
