As others have said, DS9, Lower Decks, TNG, Voyager, are all great choices. Strange New Worlds isn’t bad either.
Now some potential dealbreakers: Lower Decks is a cartoon and heavily references other shows (but does explain most of those references), TNG is very libbed up and side-steps a lot of the moral questions Startrek is known for, Voy solves those questions with warcrimes, SNW tries to be too inoffensive and is very much directed at fans. I can’t think of anything bad to say about DS9.

Sisko intentionally bombed an entire planet into uninhabitability. He’s no stranger to war crimes.
@Opisek
That’s different

because he was preventing settlers from colonizing it, he wasn’t actually attacking civilians, just preventing them from colonizing a couple planets.
When they assassinated that Vulcan (no spoilers), that was a pretty good example of Perfidy though.
Is there any order to watch Star Trek in or can I just pick any and roll with it. Will I be missing any important information?
