The general recommendation has been to watch in (mainly) the order in which it was produced / broadcast / released. It can also be watched in the Trekverse chronological order -- but this gets tricky because new pre-TOS shows are being released. The second pair of lists gives both options, with the third list block showing how to "properly" watch the last two TOS movies; the last part of TNG (plus most of the movies); all of DS9; and most of VOY. Not shown is the reboot series of movies, which would best be seen before PIC Season 1. Series Abbreviations (in alphabetical order) DISCO - Discovery DS9 - Deep Space Nine ENT - Enterprise LD - Lower Decks PIC - Picard PROD - Prodigy SH - Short Treks SNW - Strange New Worlds TAS - The Animated Series TNG - The Next Generation, including four movies TOS - The Original Series, including six movies VOY - Voyager With all this material, just how many hours is this?
