Skip Discovery. You would be far better off to watch Next Generation, and Voyager.
Probably get down voted for this but I'm new to Star Trek online discussion so be kind :) - people didn't like Discovery?
Sure it took a bit to find its feet but I thought the last series was excellent!
But then I loved Picard by the end of series 3 too so many I'm alone here.
Either way, loving all the Star Trek shows coming out these days, was nothing for so long and now...
Keeping in mind that I'm just giving personal opinions, I found Discovery to be too... over acted? Maybe that was just how it was written but the end result, for me, was that I was constantly rolling my eyes while watching.
Picard seemed okay but in the end I didn't like the obvious appeals to nostalgia, for me it felt like it leaned too heavily on it instead of trying to stand on its own as a good show.
I have no idea if my experiences align with the broader community or not, but I found myself forcing myself to watch each respective show so I didn't bother watching when a new season came out.
Please don't take my comment as anything but me sharing my experiences with someone else who is a fan of the franchise.
SNW I'm totally on board for, though. And I was hesitant about Lower Decks at first but it's really a good show, imo. It's so good that it has me questioning my decision to ignore The Orville for being too silly.
