It might seem so odd that the very first Star Trek series is so far down this list—and that’s not a reflection of its quality. This is the origin point, perhaps to many the definitive starting option. But the unfortunate fact of the matter is that some people just aren’t keen on watching a show that’s over 50 years old. If you’re willing to try, you’ll be rewarded with weird, wonderful highs and stories that hold up remarkably despite their age… and plenty of weird, wonderful lows that don’t.

Start Here If…: You don’t mind watching old TV, and want to see where it all began, warts and all.
