@nutbiggums@Son_of_dad There's an episode in Season 2 "Q Who" that you should watch before plowing into Season 3 since it introduces the borg. Otherwise, you're not missing much, and if you really end up loving the series you can always go back and watch the first two seasons with rose colored glasses.
I rewatched TNG in its entirety during peak pandemic. Season 1 is pretty painful, but the rest holds up well. I tried to watch DS9 afterwards and bounced off it pretty hard. It’s got such a different vibe from TNG. Voyager is a little closer to TNG, but missing some of the campiness that I enjoy.
I’m really liking Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and Picard Season 3 (avoid Picard Seasons 1&2 at all costs, just skip them as they have nothing to do w/ S3).
