The Star Trek universe continues to grow, but which of its iconic TV shows stand out as the very best? We rank all 13 shows so far.

If somebody asked you to name some of the very best film and TV franchises of all time, Star Trek would be on both of those lists. A regular of the silver screen, it got its start on television so it should come as no surprise that this is where the franchise has found its greatest success.

There is an irony in that, because until quite recently, there hadn’t been a Star Trek show for fans to indulge in in over a decade. But now, the long-beloved franchise has been revived with both the game-changing 2017 debut of Star Trek: Discovery (which has recently been renewed for a fifth and final season), and the attention-grabbing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which have both brought the saga back for a whole new generation.

With a list consisting of 13 entertaining shows expanding the franchise onto television, streaming, and the web itself, we’re taking a deep dive into every major Star Trek show that’s aired so far and ranking them.

Prepare your phasers for stun and get ready to agree or disagree with me on this.
