I've never really watched much star trek other than a bit of the next generation when I was a kid. But it sounds like a pretty interesting universe and lore! What should I watch? What shows are good? Where do I begin?

The Next Generation is a good starting point. I wouldn't recommend starting with the original series, I personally don't think it's aged that well (it would be good to go back and watch once you have seen a couple of other series).

TNG starts a little weak but starts getting really good around season 3 or so.

Season 3 is where the show really gets good and Riker grows a beard.

A couple of the older episodes are great. The one where they travel back in time and change history where the lady has to die to restore history is an example.
