Its the re-mastered HD, i don't think the bitrate quality is quite as high as the Blu Ray but its fantastic compared to the DVD, the enterprise has never looked better on the small screen.
Can I add Conspiracy to the list of decent season 1 episodes, showed a much darker side to Star-fleet, shame they didn't turn it into an ongoing story line it was quite gory in places too for early evening TV anyway.
Conspiracy was the goriest thing I saw on broadcast television when I was little.

Sarcasm or genuine sentiment?
Depends on what you want.
You can do it in release order or chronological order. Star Trek: Enterprise is the last Trek series, but it is a prequel so you can either watch it first or last. I'd recommend last, though.
Other than that, it's mostly straightforward. The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager overlap in time a bit, but otherwise the shows are mostly separate.
Watch in roughly this order:
The Original Series
The Animated Series (optional)
Star Trek movies 1-6
The Next Generation Seasons 1-5
TNG Season 6 and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 1
TNG S7 and DS9 S2
Star Trek: Generations
DS9 Season 3 and Star Trek: Voyager Season 1
DS9 S4 and VOY S2
Star Trek: First Contact
DS9 S5 and VOY S3
DS9 S6 and VOY S4
Star Trek: Insurrection
DS9 S7 and VOY S5
VOY S6-S7
Star Trek: Nemesis
Star Trek: Enterprise (prequel)
Star Trek reboot movies (altered timeline)
You can either get more complicated or less complicated if you want. There are plenty of lists online where you can literally go episode by episode in chronological order. Alternatively, all you really need to know is when you can start watching the series:
DS9 needs to come after the 4th Season premiere of TNG, and Season 5 of DS9 needs to come after Generations.
Voyager can essentially be watched at any time after TNG, since it literally takes place on the other side of the galaxy from any of the other shows.
I don't really watch Star Trek but I thought I;d give it a go. Are the UK versions different to the versions I access on the US Netflix? Were the US versions not the remastered versions for blu-ray?
I do switch between the US and UK Netflix catalogues, is this stuff just new to the UK? Probably silly questions but I was wondering if the UK versions were different in some way? Thanks.

I've finally got a chance to watch Enterprise from start to finish.
I'm halfway through season 1 and I actually kinda like it. I love the feeling of them being out of their depth for a change.

I agree with you.
That said, hold on tight because there is a stretch of season 2 that is fucking rough.

Brits now get to escape their harsh reality into a futuristic utopia.
It looks soooooooo much better. If it wasn't for the fashion, some of it looks like it was shot recently.

Best bit is the removal of the red and pink tinges.

Damn! That's a decent upgrade right there.
This is not a global or European deal, even though we all wish otherwise. Here is a list of things coming to Dutch Netflix in Juli:

Noted. As long as Porthos is still there i'll be right. It's the best captain team up since Sisko and his ball.

Bit odd to bump this thread I realise, but it seemed to be the most appropriate place for context:
Netflix UK just put out this tweet.
Seems to suggest they've gotten the rights for the new series in the UK. Makes sense, CBS doesn't exactly have much presence over here, and from what I understand All Access doesn't even work here.

Thing about Star trek is that tv rights are more internationally competitive than almost any other franchise. Netflix may still yet get it in other European countries, but in terms of the UK deal you can get there were big players like Sky trying to secure the rights.
It's going to be, just announced that all countries outside US/Canada are getting the classic series and the new one.

"Each Episode of the Highly Anticipated New Series to be Available to Netflix Members Exclusively in All Licensed Territories Within 24 Hours of the U.S. Premiere on CBS"
Portuguese Netflix does this with a few shows, which blew my mind at first heh

Depends. Start with TNG and then DS9 if you want a story that carries through. Voyager runs parallel to DS9, but it takes place in a different part of the galaxy so it has very little to do with DS9 and TNG.
Personally, if it was me I'd go TNG>DS9>Enterprise>TOS> Voyager... People will tell you this is a weird order, but in terms of being watchable, TOS is very much a product of its era and Voyager is mostly forgettable. Enterprise may not be great, but seasons 3 and 4 are really very good in hindsight.

Or Trekkies 3! Exclusivity on Netflix! (edit. OKsaw the PR that they locked up the new show. Fewwww)
I REALLY hope that new show turns out good. Curious how much of a budget it will get since its primarily a driver for CBS's US streaming thing
Thanks. I've watched pretty much all of Enterprise and didn't mind it. I feel pretty much what you do about TOS. TNG it is!
TNG takes a couple of seasons to really find its feet (hence the origin of "growing the beard" on TV Tropes) but it's definitely the place to start

Finally managed to see all of Enterprise. It was just getting good and then it ends, such a shame.

Trials and tribleations is sooooooo good.
The green screening has not aged so well but other then that it's a amazing stab at the concept.
DS9 is GOAT.

I remember watching the entire during its first run (2001-2005). There was a distinct feeling in season 4 that the writers knew the writing was on the wall, so they tried to squeeze as much fan service and TOS-based episodes as they could into season 4. It's pretty interesting reading about what they had intended for season 5: Jeffrey Combs as the Andorian Shran would've joined the main cast and there would've been episodes about the Romulan War.

Yeah. Seemed like they finally had some good ideas on the cards. Would have loved another season if it kept going the direction it was heading because s4 was fun.
Oh and if Jeffrey Combs isn't in the new show at some point then someone messed up.
