I'm watching the season finale of Star Trek: Discovery as I type this....Incredible show, possibly the best of the franchise. And be careful what you sat about DS9. @DallasEast is a big fan of it.

Season 2 is better. Season 3 is off the charts fantastic!
The characters get more interesting with just about every episode.

So MANY Deep Space Nine critics!
Okays peoplez. ST: DS9 lasted seven seasons. How many seasons did y'all last before saying you could not stomach it anymore?
I ask because the underlying premise of the series is based upon a liberated Cardassian space station situated on the fringes of Federation space. Understandably, a nearby stable wormhole would not honestly appeal to some folks. Practically the entire first three seasons were centered upon Bajor. I can see how that would put some imaginations to sleep. It is not unlike getting fed stories of astronauts on the International Space Station coming down to Earth for away missions lol.
However, the series did not remain stuck inside that crack. Season Four began the introduction of the Jem'Hadar, The Dominion, The Founders and more thoughtful story exploitation of the Gamma Quadrant. Thus entered a storyline menace that rivaled that of The Original Series' Klingons and Romulans and The Next Generation's Borg that preceded DS9. Even the comic punchline Ferengi stuck on the station grew more dramatic.
Throughout the series' run, episodes such as Call to Arms, It's Only A Paper Moon, Duet, In The Pale Moonlight, The Way of the Warrior, Change of Heart, Sacrifice of Angels, etc., dealt also with many real life topics in typically quintessential Star Trek fashion. I mean. There was much DS9 to NOT be bored and actually entertained by than be tuned out and turned off.
Just my opinion (Haters).

I think there were just too many characters I didn't like: Sisko's kid (was a friend of mineSo MANY Deep Space Nine critics!

To be honest, I was not that fond of Jake Sisko either. The only Ferengi I did like was Quark and his nephew but did not like his brother until the final two seasons when he was fighting with the Bajor rebels. I could have thrown the Grand Nagus out an airlock without blinking.I think there were just too many characters I didn't like: Sisko's kid (was a friend of mine
Curious about Odo. Rene Auberjonois' character was pretty unique among the series and he played it well in my opinion. There were not that many (maybe two I think) appearances of shapeshifters other than Odo and the female Founder. There were a good number of appearances by the Founders' slave attendees (Weyons I believe) and the Jem'Hadar.
I thought the main Cardassian character, Dukat, was an excellent main antagonist for Sisko. It was a clear good versus evil dynamic between them. Garik (sp?), the tailor/master spy, was the other main Cardassian I could not stand during the first four seasons but became one of my favorite characters during the final three seasons. One of the differences between DS9 and other Star Trek series was how significant tragedy struck virtually every single main character at at least once before the show ended. Garik was a man without a country, who was not trusted by those in his new home but became a valid ally only to see the love of his life murdered. His quest for revenge down the stretch turned his character into a notable one for me. Dukat's lieutenant did get on my nerves though.
I could have done without the doctor. He did not allow the Miles O'Brien character to flourish as much I had hoped coming over from The Next Generation due to their 'best buds' relationship. Same goes for the Bajor Prefect, who was connected with Kira for much of the first half of the series. On the other hand, the Prefect played by Louise Fletcher (non-Star Trek fans may remember her as the original Nurse Ratchet from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest) was pretty darn sinister lol.
Did you at least like seeing Terry Ferrell (Jadzia) and Nana Visitor (Kira)? I did.
Or even Michael Dorn reprising his Worf character?kskboys

I feel like I need to go just buy it instead of waiting for it to come on regular networks.

I did like Dax and Kira, and now that you mention it, I liked Garak a bit. Dr. Bashir was a sniveling little wuss, and extremely unbelievable when he tried to be tough.To be honest, I was not that fond of Jake Sisko either.

I never cared for the Jem'Hadar either. IIRC, they were a warrior race under control of the shape shifters?
When the show first started, I was looking forward to all the possibilities the wormhole presented, but they used it more as a way to bring people to the station, rather than using it to explore, which is what I was hoping for.

You don't have Amazon Prime, I assume?
