I really liked the original series. I like a lot some years of TNG. DS9 I thought was OK, but not superb. Voyager was very good IMO. Enterprise is awesome. The last movie was fun.
I liked "wild west" feel of
TOS. I also liked
TNG with all the moralist discussions (you can get some good quotes in the way they used Shakespeare).
DS9 is what I considered the pinnacle of story and character writing development. And though I did not initially like that Borg-fighting warship,
Defiant grew on me.
VOY started off well (though not superb) but once Brannon Braga took over the two departing exec producers, it went downhill, starting with using her girlfriend-to-be as the highlight of that series, unofficially dubbed the "Seven of Nine Show." IOW, she got more airtime and lines to speak than the rest of the cast. And when they try to spotlight the others, they usually end up having a poorly written story. Plus, under Brannon Braga, episodes most of the time start at one pace, and then suddenly it quickens at the last few minutes, like they couldn't find an appropriate way to conclude the story. Only thing I like about the show is the
Intrepid-class starship.
ENT was Brannon Braga's second attempt as an executive producer, only this time this is his child he created from the start. But once I saw the first episode, I knew it will be more of the same screenplay pattern he did with
VOY. The "Akira-prise" took some time to get used to, although I was hoping for something like a
Daedalus-class vessel. Sorry, but looking at that NX-01 ship is like looking at F4-Phantom flying around in the WW II period. The only good thing about it is the return of the Andorians. Too bad the arc does not involved them.
Oh, did I mentioned I hate the way Braga used "temporal" this and "temporal" that in
VOY? Now you know why I find the "Temporal Cold War" main arc unappealing.
