What I can say? They all are great! Some are better than others, but still is very enjoyable, why there is so mixed reviews about it? I can understand some specific complains, but that dosen't make it bad.

Semi-unrelated question: I've watched Star Trek Voyager with my gf, she doesn't know any other Trek. I don't think we want to watch TOS, but will probably continue with TNG and DS9 next.
Do you need to know the TOS characters like Kirk, Spock etc before watching their movies, or are they adequately introduced in the movies so you can watch them as someone completely ignorant?
Just watch the movies, she most likely knows a bit about the characters through pop culture and they are written so you can easily follow them.
The ToS movies are still very good! Some of them are better than TNG movies. They're a bit dated, with the Motion Picture being 1979, but they're good nonetheless. I'm currently watching The Motion Picture, and I just watched The Undiscovered Country a week ago. That one was good enough that I decided to go back and watch all of them again. Kahn and the one with the whales are the most beloved, but Undiscovered is good too. I can't speak to The Motion Picture yet, since I haven't seen it in 30+ years, and I'm less than half way through it this time around. I think The Search for Spock is not considered great, but we'll see here soon!
Star Trek Prodigy is the true sequel to Voyager. It’s all ages / family rather than the ‘kids show’ many fans take it for. I would watch that with your GF next.
Because Prodigy is designed to be an entry point for new viewers, it introduces many of the key legacy characters and much of the lore. It has a Star Wars vibe in the pilot, mainly to draw in viewers from other franchises, but it settles into being some of the Trekiest content ever by the 6th short episode of season one.
For the most part, but maybe a quick skim of their Wikipedia pages would help. Or try asking Copilot to give you move spoiler free summaries of the characters. Bit of overlap but this should give an ok base of info. https://sl.bing.net/jeamSKws8G // https://sl.bing.net/jM0nsgjJa68
Don't use Copilot if you actually want accurate information.
What did you find inaccurate about my results?
They didn't read it and they don't care. They're just happy for an opportunity to echo their hatred of CoPilot.
Loving the added downvotes without any comments, really supporting the case.
