Deep Space 9 is the first ST show to have season long arcs peppered with self-contained episodes. Since someone else already mentioned Discovery, I think DS9 is a pretty good jumping on point for “classic” Trek.
Discovery is the first Trek show that isn’t episodic. Each episode has their own arc. Could use that as a jumping off point to discover things you find interesting and then watch episodes of other shows central to that.
For someone that has never watched any star trek what should I start off watching?

I feel like I should like it, but its episodic nature completely ruins it for me.

TNG, start with the second season. If that’s a too preachy and perfect for you try DS9.
