If your friend is asking that in 2024 the answer is "Strange New Worlds".
Is it good with little to no knowledge? I'm only part way through the original series
My opinion is that a person with zero Star Trek knowledge in 2024 would be the most comfortable with Strange New Worlds. Its very approachable and has a young adult character useful for exposition (beyond also being a great character) when needed so new audiences can learn about the world.
I started off recently with tng
I love me some TNG, but I'm imaging sitting down today, having never seen Star Trek, and for the first time in 2024 and watching "Encounter at Farpoint". I don't think that would go over well.
Yeah I always tell people 'it gets better'
STW Episode one ends with this. That leaves people wanting more. "Encounter at Farpoint" didn't.
.,.meh
That's where I started too just a few years ago. I've since watched DS9, Voyager, Picard, Strange New Worlds, The Lower Decks and Discovery. I haven't watched The Animated Series yet and I've watched random episodes of The Original Series but it's not one I've had the urge to watch straight through.
These shows can become addictive. :)
How about no
