If you're not sure yet whether you'll enjoy watching Star Trek, consider the "Top 10 Episodes" section below to try out some of the best of Star Trek. But if you're ready for a marathon, we've got the series and movies listed in both our recommended order and the chronological order, for reference. Note that The Original Series is placed later in the recommended order | If you're not sure yet whether you'll enjoy watching Star Trek, consider the "Top 10 Episodes" section below to try out some of the best of Star Trek. But if you're ready for a marathon, we've got the series and movies listed in both our recommended order and the chronological order, for reference. | ||
Note that The Original Series (TOS) – which aired in the 1960s – is placed later in the recommended order as it doesn't hold up as well for younger viewers as it does for those who saw it when it was on air. We think most people will want to start with Strange New Worlds, which captures some of the spirit of TOS with a modern and fresh look, proceeding next to the entertaining feature films that star the TOS cast, and watching The Original Series itself much later in the sequence. | |||
