"Star Trek" may very well be the greatest science fiction franchise of all time, a title it earns through its indelible legacy and enormous cultural impact. An entertainment behemoth, it has graced screens both big and small to tell stories packed with human drama, raw emotion, and plenty of suspense and excitement. But while there have been more than a dozen feature films (https://www.looper.com/128205/star-trek-movies-ranked-from-worst-to-best/) in its history, "Star Trek" has always been at its best on television, with nearly a dozen full-length series to date.
From the iconic 1966 original series led by Captain Kirk all the way to modern streaming originals like "Star Trek: Discovery" and "Strange New Worlds," audiences have been dazzled by the best sci-fi that television has to offer for the best part of six decades. However, not every "Star Trek" series has gotten off to the best of starts. Some shows have struggled to get to impulse out of spacedock, while others came out at warp with phasers charged. Younger audiences might be surprised to learn that the original "Star Trek" series wasn't an overwhelming success and was actually canceled after just three seasons.
No matter how much we love every "Star Trek" series, they're not always at their best in their first years. So strap on your phaser and grab your tricorder, because we're beaming down to explore every "Star Trek" series' first season and ranking them from worst to best.
