Babylon 5
(TNG -> DS9)
But seriously, also watch Babylon 5
Obviously, you hang in the castle for a bit so you can go over to the ion storm later with a full understanding of context.
The real answer is Stargate SG-1
You misspelled Farscape
Huh? That isn’t how you spell Lexx either.
Not to be confused with Stargate S9 and 10 nicknamed Fargate
I think you mean Firefly
RIP
Babylon 5 wants to know your location.
Just when I thought Star Trek was enough sci-fi for me … there’s so much more to watch
Don’t forget The Orville!
I presume that the Anla’Shok already do…:-P
chronologically! def tng -> ds9
worf/obrien start on the enterprise if i recall correctly.
And Voyager sets off from Deep Space 9
I was nerd enough to make an table with all episodes of tng, ds9 and voy and ordered it by release date. They overlap with a short period of only DS9. Watching this order makes you realize some story lines containing two or even three series.
The full list is too long for a comment, so here is just where things start/end overlapping

Depending on how you like TV you might like the episodic way DS9 is done vs the ‘monster of the week’ that is TNG
As a stranger on the internet, I would be remiss if I didn’t correct you: DS9 is famously the least episodic classic Trek series. The word you should’ve used to describe it is “continuous.”
Which is probably why I’ll agree that ds9 is a bit harder to watch. You have to start at the beginning and endure the first and second seasons in order to enjoy the rest. It took me about three or four attempts over the years to watch it, lose interest and stop, then start again a year or two later. But once you get through that hump at the beginning, it is such a rewarding experience to see every character evolve and the stories to unfold. So many great leading characters and so many great villains and so many individuals that are in between.
I’m looking forward to trying DS9 again. It just didn’t grab me at the time. Also, said time was high school for me, which meant much less time available to watch consistently. My spouse and I are finishing up TNG, but it’s gonna be awhile before I can convince her to do more Trek.
I just finished watching the episode where Dax’s symbiont was stolen. The saga before that with The Circle was pretty good.
I think there’s great stuff in seasons 1 and 2, but, like all Star Trek, there’s some rough ones too
DS9 as a whole is my favorite Trek series, but the worst episode in all of Star Trek, in my opinion, is from the show: Move Along Home, episode nine of season one. The gang gets trapped in an alien’s board game, and hijinks ensue. It features all the worst things about Trek, and none of the best. It’s campy but not charming, it’s got nonsense words that are completely unnecessary and never again referenced, its stakes are simultaneously too high and insignificant, and the writing is just bad.
Similarly, Voyager is my favorite, but it also has my absolute least favorite episode: the one where Kes goes into heat. I’m not going into any further details lol
Found it … here’s the post I made that talked about those episodes
Great period of episodes with that subject because it’s a direct reflection on our history and our ideas and attempts at ‘purifying our race’ or in the ideas that “some are worthy” and others are not.
First time I saw those episodes was last year and the image of Barjoran extremists really reminded me of the “OK” finger gesture that white supremacists used a few years ago.
Also note that the name of the Barjoran extremist group is “The Circle” which can be seen as comparable to the idea of the KKK … KKK is an acronym for Ku Klux Klan which takes its name from the Greek word Kuklos, which means “the circle” … I’m pretty sure the writers were really making a statement by coming up with that name.
Definitely a great watch because there is more to come in future episodes … you’re going to enjoy yourself.
Continuously boring.
TNG follows the Greek Morality Play structure of ToS, hence “monster of the week”.
Nighttime TV didn’t really take to serialization heavily until the 90’s. You can see it starting with later TNG.

Any of them is a good choice. I’m in season 6 of DS9 watching it for the first time. I had watched TNG in the 90s in parts, then completely the full series in about 2000.
I’ve also watched all of Voyager and now almost all of TOS. And after finishing DS9 I hope to watch Enterprise and I’ve also watched most of the latest series with Picard, Discovery, Strange New Worlds and even Lower Decks. I think I also have to squeeze in and watch the Animated Series in there somewhere.
After seeing so much and due to my aging brain … I don’t quite remember everything. So after I’ve finished saying I’ve watched all of this, I plan on rewatching the same series all over again in the future.
I think I’ll be spending the rest of my life just rewatching all these shows over and over again until someone just transfers me over into a transport buffer.
Spoiler alert:
youwe are already there…:-P
DS9 stan here.
I had watched DS9 episodes when I came across them over the years. Usually good, but didn’t have the itch to commit to 173 episodes back-to-back. Finally binged the whole thing about 3 years ago, and good lord it’s every bit as relevant today as it was 25+ years ago.
