It's very obviously TNG. But after season 2.
Nah, start from the beginning. When I introduced my partner to star trek, she loved the first TNG seasons, despite recognizing that the latter are better
The first episode also introduces every character.
It would be a miss for new watchers to skip it, even if some of you don't like the episode.
The dish separation was what made me understand there was a lot more to Star Trek then I first thought and made me continue watching, even if it didn't happen again.
A few of my very favorite episodes of Star Trek ever are in season 1, though. I wouldn't skip it entirely!
Even though I think DS9 is objectively better than TNG, I would still recommend TNG to get into it, as the more exploration focus should appeal to a wider audience.
Also you can appreciate DS9 better as a contrast to TNG
