between TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager, the latter has been my favorite series of the four to-date (all the temporal excursions are what drew me into the Star Trek Universe in the first place!) and as i got more into it and began watching episodes chronologically, i noticed the main plot that was established had provided an enticingly large blank slate for Voyager to work with.
however, while binging lately (thanks, Netflix!), i realized that the characters' developments in Voyager were mediocre at best and that so many -- if not all -- of the female characters were the antitheses of well-rounded individuals. it's hella disappointing because this series had the opportunity to be far more stylistically creative/esoterically enunciated than TNG, and even had DS9's template to work with with regards to interspecies interactions (which, by the way, showcased an urgent need for racial progressivism by examining the nuances and subtleties of xenophobia)!
that being said, i'm still always gonna love Voyager for what it is and, specifically, the Temporal Ambassador Herself, Seven of Nine :)
[note: i haven't watched Enterprise just yet, and Discovery wasn't mentioned because that has an entire analysis of it's own coming lol]
