      Voyager definitely has a better theme/synopsis. On paper, DS9 seems rather dull (being a fixed space station, instead of an exploring spaceship). They even had to add The Defiant to allow for that exploring kick.

      Character development, and long story plots wins with DS9. Arguably the best Trek series (though, whatever is your favorite is the best Trek series, no need to gatekeep)

      One of DS9’s biggest draws is the character development. To quote Dune: “The slow blade penetrates the shield.”

        Oh, I do think DS9 is one of the best Star Trek shows (tied there with Lower Decks). But the synopsis isn’t great.

        Netflix has a paragraph telling you what each show is about.

        It is actually worse and less informative than it sounds, but it and a picture are all the static elements there to compare the shows.
