You have to go a long way to beat ST:NG (the series, less so the films). While its first two seasons were a bit patchy, you can absolutely see that it’s a faithful continuation of the original, and as it matures, the main cast are all solid, believable characters who are allowed to grow rather than being forced to keep repeating the same two-dimensional cliches so as to drive plot (unlike certain later characters, like Neelix aboard Voyager for example).
The chemistry between the main cast is perhaps best summed up by the TV series’ final sequence, in which Picard finally joins the rest of them for a card game - something which the writers hadn’t even used to create artificial tension at any previous point. It was understated, and presented as continuing natural growth in relationship. Superbly measured and executed.
And having recently re-watched it all on Netflix, even the Q episodes have grown on me.
