I recently had to think about this when a friend asked about which show he should buy on DVD to start.
I had to think quickly because he asked me while he was in a store that has a lot of complete TV shows on DVD/BD, and needed to know before he left.
After thinking for a few minutes, I decided to start him with TNG and continue in release order. TOS is just extremely difficult to look at and take seriously. I’ll have him get to it probably after the 3 “golden age” shows. Give him a reason to like the franchise before dealing with the old look.
So we’ll circle back to it for sure, but I want him to like the show.
