Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I'm starting to watch DS9 all the way through (just a few eps into season one so far), it's streaming on Netflix and I think I missed a couple of seasons in the middle.
Me, too, -t! I'm in Season 4 right now. I think it's the best of the franchise in every way. I was startled to recognize the name of the writer of one of the episodes I watched tonight - Jane Esperson! I didn't know she wrote for them.

Oh, cool, we can compare notes!
And I will have to pay some attention to the credits...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They definitely dove in hard with arcs on DS9. TNG had recurring themes and characters, but didn't follow many conflicts in similar durations and details as DS9--perhaps the more stationary nature of the Trek leant more in that direction?
Also--Sisko is my favourite Captain (I think gets that designation by a hair, for a while), and for all I see image macros extolling Kirk's rough and ready approach to aliens to Picard's cool and calculated strategies, I'm not sure why they're ignoring Benjamin, and his Stardate Hawk was much better once TPTB stopped fighting any perceived and let him lose the hair and gain the gusto.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Sisko is my favourite Captain (I think gets that designation by a hair, for a while)
If that’s your criteria, then Janeway has way more hair than Picard, Sisko or Kirk.

Love the Sisko, he might be my favorite. It's a tough call.

And I finally had a chance to look at that street art. Very nice!

DS9 has several of my all-time favorite episodes of anything, EVER. "Far Beyond the Stars" was absolutely astonishing.

Compassionately intolerant
I think I'll dive into DS9 next.
If I give it a hard think, if I was forced to choose a favorite...which Trek I would want to watch over all the others, DS9 would probably be it.
Somehow, it comes off less 'quaint' than the others. Holds up better over time...and the arcs are more engaging than some of the recurring themes.
I loved Q, but the political intrigue of DS9 is MUCH more interesting to me.
