I like Star Trek because of the hopeful future it depicts, the exploration I would love to experience, and the well developed characters.
Episodes are varied, one episode might focus on a side character’s love life, where another might be a battle against a superior foe that feels like a Das Boot adaptaion.
I recommend Strange New Worlds, it’s a return to episodic storytelling, it’s got great visuals, great actors, and the weakest episode is better than The Next Generation’s average episode.
I recently introduced a friend to Star Trek with SNW without explaining anything and it did a great job of introducing the setting and itself
I must say the biggest problem with Star trek is consistency. TNG oscillates from the best television I’ve ever seen to worst from one episode to the next

That is the beauty of episodic content. If you don’t enjoy an episode, you can just skip to the next which will be entirely different.
If the story is bad in a serial show, it ruins the entire season.
That’s why I recommend SNW over TNG for newcomers
Yeah but you got like 22 episodes each season. One season of TNG is like half of the entire run of Discovery.
26!
