I’ve been recommended TNG, DS9, and Voyager, and have been told that the rest pale in comparison.

      I know DS9 is considered the “dark stories” one, but it’s still bursting with optimism compared with the majority of scifi out there.

        Isn’t “thought provoking“ is kinda the whole point of sci-fi?

        All 3 series have plenty of those, as well as their share of dud episodes. DS9 leans heavier into stories of war/colonialism. VOY is more about survival in desperate circumstances.

          Of good sci-fi. I heard ST:Picard missed the mark for many, for example.
