On season 2 of Voyager.
I think Voyager is underrated. I really enjoyed it. My ordering of Star Trek Shows is as follows:
1.) TOS (It started the whole thing and deserves to be #1)
2.) STTNG
3.) Voyager
4.) Enterprise (Such a shame it was canceled when it was, it was really getting good and had huge potential)
5.) DS9Too soon to classify Discovery.
Nostalgia aside, TOS is pretty bad. I'm not surprised it got cancelled.
Yes but when you look at the TOS storylines relating directly to the hot-button issues of the 60s, plus the fact that they had the first interracial kiss during the whole civil rights movement, it was damn ballsy. So yes it gets #1 for many reasons. Was it over the top and cheesy, sure, but you have to look past that. A lot of TV shows from that era are cheesy, Gilligan's Isle, Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, etc. So the cheesiness wasn't unique to TOS. Take that into consideration and then coupled with my first points it is easily #1.
DS9 - I just didn't like the whole space station idea. Exploring the stars to me seems inseparable from Star Trek. So being stationary never set right with me. Also one of the reasons I like Voyager so much.
Enterprise, I like the whole people struggling to overcome and we weren't these badasses with super technology like the other shows get portrayed as.

My perspective on TOS is not nearly so nuanced
To each their own. My list would be different, but it would exclude sections of each of the other series because they all have their garbage periods imo.

I loved the station idea. Just hated the characters like Quark and Worf that were so one dimensional.

Yup, @JaredBusch got. The "What is coming soon" email is what got me back on it. I never got to watch all of it live, so this was my first time through the whole thing.
