I recommend people wanting to get in to Trek start with TNG (possibly at season 2) but consider DS9 to be the best the property has to offer.

if you start with s2 TNG you'll miss the Extreme Gayness that is Tasha Yarr though.

Anyway TNG has a lot of garbage but also some pretty okay stuff and if you go in expecting it to be the kinda thing you half pay attention to it can be pretty fun.

DS9 actually gets reliably interesting, even if still suffering from some of Trek's fundamental flaws.
