Personally I like season one a lot but I understand this stance. However, you should never sleep on In The Hands of the Prophets. An amazing ep just as good as duet in my book.
Don’t feel bad … I think I tried starting and restarting it about four times over the past ten years … I only just recently finished watching it about two months ago … and as others have said, it takes a while to get into it but when you do, you really get into it.
Echoing what EmpathicVagrant said. DS9 takes a bit to get going, and there are a few early episodes which don’t hold up, but once you’re into late S1, it goes hard and keep going.
Dude. Elmo got hard.
(Thank you. I could never get into ds9)
Give it another shot. I hated (hated) hated it in the beginning.
There are character arcs that will confound you, but there’s others that are humanizing and beautiful.
I think, like next gen, if i skip a season i might get into it easier
I’d use a skip guide if you’re struggling, season 1 is basically just the opening 2 partner and ‘Duet’, which came out of nowhere.
But it’s so so good when you get into it.

As others have said, it starts kinda aimlessly. But it gets really good as it goes. It’s my favorite series in the franchise.
DS9 is the best version of Star Trek
I just want to second everything everyone here says ds9 is a great minivan
Everyone needs a good minivan once in a while
