Star Trek: The Original Series is the oldest TV series I've ever reviewed and probably the oldest one I will ever review, which only begs the question of: Is it still worth watching today? Personally, I think it's absolutely worth watching. The Original Series has plenty of all-time great episodes of television, and while about a third of TOS is dated and probably even offensive, a large chunk of the show is also impressively relevant today. But the thing that's aged the best is the fantastic chemistry between its main trio, which shines through even in the worst of episodes. Not to mention the movies are (mostly) amazing too, offering some of the best that Trek has to offer. Here's my ranking of the episodes and movies of The Original Series:
