Dec 19, 2022 · There have been 11 Star Trek series over the past 54 years, making it sci-fi's most enduring franchise. We rank all of them.
- Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993–1999) Placing Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in the top spot is perhaps a contentious decision. However, this series did more than measure up to the quality of The Next Generation (a lofty feat in and of itself).
- Star Trek: The Original Series (1966–1969) What can we say about The Original Series that hasn't been said already? Gene Roddenberry successfully fused science fiction with American pioneer spirit to create his vision of this "Wagon Train to the stars."
- Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987–1994) Star Trek: The Next Generation has the dubious honor of being the first Trek show where veteran fans warn against new fans starting at the very beginning.
- Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022–present) Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a truly pleasant surprise to fans of the franchise. Set years before Captain Kirk sat in that famous chair, we see Capt.
- Star Trek: The Next Generation. Just as the list began with Jean-Luc Picard, it ends with Jean-Luc Picard. Star Trek: The Next Generation is more than just everything a Star Trek series can be: it’s everything science fiction can be.
- Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Deep Space Nine the Star Trek formula from TNG and tweaks it, asking: what if the characters can’t run away from the problems they’ve created?
- Star Trek: The Original Series. It’s too easy to forget that Star Trek’s original series isn’t just notable as the first Star Trek series but is also excellent in its own right.
- Star Trek: Lower Decks. It’s becoming a bit of a pattern now, but Star Trek: Lower Decks had an iffy start. A lot of the jokes just weren’t that funny, and it seemed too hesitant to engage with its sci-fi roots.
- Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. If the original series and The Next Generation established the tone and the archetypes, Deep Space Nine perfected them. It is the pinnacle of Star Trek shows.
- Star Trek: The Original Series. The one that started it all! We would not be here today without Gene Roddenberry’s seminal work, the 1966 original series!
- Star Trek: The Next Generation. The formative Trek show of my youth. Star Trek: The Next Generation is perhaps the show that my generation thinks of first when hearing the words “Star Trek.”
- Star Trek: Lower Decks. Hands down the best of the new Treks. Each episode is packed full of jokes and references and very deep cuts of old Star Trek canon—while still telling a good story—and a good Star Trek story!
- Deep Space Nine (1993 – 1999) What initially seemed like too far a departure from the Star Trek formula has now become the standard hipster answer for ‘best Trek’.
- The Next Generation (1987 – 1994) Patrick Stewart didn’t empty his suitcase. That’s how certain he was in the failure of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
- Star Trek (1966 – 1969) Newcomers to the franchise sometimes struggle with the original series, finding it hopelessly dated. TOS does definitely embrace the aesthetics of its time, with its miniskirt uniforms, technicolor background lighting, and, yes, space hippies.
- Strange New Worlds (2022 – Present) Aside from TOS, nearly every Trek series has started off with a bad season or two. But that’s not the case with Strange New Worlds, which has not had a single bad episode yet.
1. Star Trek: The Next Generation. 1987–1994 176 eps TV-PG. 8.7 (140K) Rate. TV Series. Set almost 100 years after Captain Kirk's 5-year mission, a new generation of Starfleet officers sets off in the U.S.S. Enterprise-D on its own mission to go where no one has gone before.
