Star Trek: The Next Generation

The sets and costumes do look rather dated now but this is still a great TV show. My favourite season was the 6th as the show had really had to get smart to keep things going. This is the ideal thing to watch just before sleeping. It is not the most sharp writing but the slightly tacky vibe works well. There are some dud episodes but that is to be expected as there are so many. For anyone interested in checking Star Trek out, this is the best place to start. The Next Generation is far better than the movies which are too much about action rather than basic character development.
