I watched lower decks (my first real entry into Star Trek) and really liked it, so I started watching TNG.

Does the original series hold up? I’ll need something to watch after I’m done with TNG

    IMHO TOS is the best Trek but as stated it's a sign of it's time.

    What I appreciate is it's more like a western than TNG which is more heavy on the beaurocracy which is also a sign of the times.

    TOS has a magical simplicity that is so easy to get lost in.

    The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

    The original series was definitely of a different era, best viewed through an anthropological lens.
