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.
Honestly most of season 1 and about half of season 2 are pretty weak (with some decent episodes in between). Quite a lot of season 1 you can downright skip. There are quite a few guides out there on which episodes to watch and skip, for example here or even this one that skips season 1 and 2 almost entirely. In my opinion, from season 3 onwards, the general quality gets so good that you might as well watch every episode from that point.
i see, thanks so much for the guides, i appreciate it.
i’ll look at both of those and probably jump into three and see how it goes.
