TNG is only great from the 3rd season on. Its first season is complete trash. Just watch the pilot, Q-Who, and Measure of a Man from Seasons 1 and 2. But by season 3 you're in for a treat.
None of the other series are as consistently good as TOS.
Deep Space 9 actually has the most and the largest space battles out of any of the series. The difference between it and the other series is that it takes place on a space station instead of on a ship. There are 2 wars which take place over series 4-7, with hundreds of ships battling at a time. Its first season isn't as good as later seasons, but it is the only series after TOS to have a decent first season at all, and it ecen has some great episodes in its first season. It is the most consistently good series after TOS, It has the most action of any Star Trek series and is much darker than any of the other series. And is has 'The Sisko.'
Voyager and Enterprise have occasional moments, but they are overall crap. BS morals that change by the episode and scripts that literally have parts that are blank and just say 'technobable. Enterprise eventually improved, but Voyager only is good when it focuses on the Doctor or on 7 of 9, and even then they ruin a good thing by overdoing it.
The only Next Gen movie worth seeing is First Contact. Generations is not a good sendoff for Kirk and crew, especially after how good Undiscovered Country was.
The recent 3 Star Trek movies are a decent reboot for the TOS crew with new actors. Mindless action movies but good fun.

Voyager was leagues above DS9. Did not have the ratings because it was on UPN. Fox was bigger back then, if only by a bit.

I couldn't care less about ratings. TOS had bad ratings despite being awesome. But in the cases of DS9 and Voyager, one has been called "the most critically acclaimed" Star Trek series, while the other is responsible for the meme, "Welcome to the idiocy that is...Voyager." Having seen all of DS9 and all of Voyager that I could stomache, I have to agree.
