If you liked the original 1960's Star Trek Series, you'll like this one too. I liked all the Series, but my interest dwindled as the years went on. This one was an exception, probably my favorite one of all of them, and largely overlooked.
The original 1960's Star Trek series was great, if maybe kinda hoakie by today's film and effects standards. The Next Generation was much better in that respect, and it had some great characters too, but it seemed to go too far in the altruistic/idealistic/utopian vein, at least in my opinion. It was really cool to have those values, but if you gave it any thought at all, it was probably hopelessly idealistic. People just don't act that way.
That's where this series is much better. It is more what I would consider to be realistic in terms of how people interacted with one another. It has all the same types of adventures, but is more what I would expect from a human effort at interstellar flight and contact with other life forms.
