True, but the feeling is that in general Voyager was hard to watch.
I rewatched TNG and DS9 several times from start to finish and almost skipped no episodes (though in later rewatches of DS9 I'm skipping the alternate universe ones since I can't bear them). I tried rewatching VOY and I just can't. Sure I can rewatch some of the awesome episodes from the show, but I can't watch it from start to finish since I find most episodes to be cringey (even if I like most of the actors and their characters, but something doesn't work when watching entire episodes).
Unrelated: I watched DIS until it was on Netflix (and deemed it an action TV series that's got nothing to do with Star Trek) and watched only a few episodes of PIC until it turned into the "fellowship of the ring" with the introduction of a sword wielding elf. Should I squeeze my nose and dive into it again and try to finish it?
I'll watch SNW as soon as I can. Still haven't gotten around it
Discovery started off as an action show, then suddenly added 10 minute long unrelated montages in the middle of action scenes. That killed it for me.
VOY episodes just leave you with nothing. Sure, stuff happened, but... you feel like it doesn't matter. It's sad because they had the chance to really make something cool, 5-year-exploration missions pale in comparison to travelling back from the other side of the galaxy.
You can watch the last season of PIC, it's essentially a noir-action show in a scifi setting, but.... WATCH SNW NOW!
TNG I would skip most of Season 1 and probably a decent chunk of Season 2 on a rewatch.
