The Next Generation and then Deep Space 9. You could start with the Original series but it’s not necessary to understand the events of the TNG/Voyager/DS9 era of time.
TNG has some absolutely awful episodes in the beginning and the first two seasons aren’t really considered very good by most, but once they find their footing it’s pretty consistent with only the rare complete miss. Deep Space 9 is a really good one though, I passed it up for years because it didn’t take place on a starship but that only allowed for a completely different style of storytelling with recurring characters and interwoven plot lines.
