Never watched The Original Series before? No better time than the present to get caught up on the series that started it all.

This short-lived animated series features all the original cast (except Chekov, played by Walter Koenig). 'Yesteryear,' 'The Slaver Weapon' and 'More Tribbles, More Troubles' are all solid picks.
How to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation Online
- Watch on: Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, CBS.com
- Number of episodes: 178
Not enough time to work through nearly 200 episodes? The two-episode cliffhanger that bridges Seasons 3 and 4, 'The Best of Both Worlds' parts 1 & 2, is a great place to start. Captain Picard is kidnapped by the cybernetic hive mind known as the Borg, and chaos ensues.
How to watch Star Trek: Deep Space Nine online
- Watch on: Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, CBS.com
- Number of episodes: 176
There’s a lot to choose from here, but Season 4’s ‘The Visitor,’ Season Season 7’s ‘Once More Unto The Breach’ and Season 6’s ‘Far Beyond The Stars' are consistent fan favorites.
How to watch Star Trek: Voyager online
- Watch on: Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, CBS.com
- Number of episodes: 172
Season 4's two-parter, 'Year Of Hell," is a classic that sees the course of history hanging in the balance, while another double episode, 'Equinox' (Seasons 5 and 6), sees the crew of Voyager in serious peril after responding to an emergency hail from a damaged ship.
How to watch Star Trek: Enterprise online
- Watch on: Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, CBS.com

There's some standouts from the show's particularly strong fourth season: 'Bound' revisits the Orion Slave Girls from The Original Series, and the three-part mini arc consisting of 'Borderland' / 'Cold Station 12' / 'The Augments' will delight Next Generation fans who never quite got on board with the more recent series.
