I think either Strange New Worlds or Lower Decks is a good starting point for someone new to Trek. I think I’d recommend SNW over Lower Decks though just because the number of references in Lower Decks to other Star Trek media is pretty high.

This is incorrect.
If you are new at this point “Lower decks” is the right place to start.
After that you can go to any series, even if TNG is the right next step. You can pick anything.

The number of references and in jokes was what made me give SNW and eventually TNG a chance personally. I jist really wanted to know wtf was up with the Koala

Lower decks has soooo many references to the other series I feel like it would be a very confusing place to start.

The references would be lost, but it is still very enjoyable new content for new watchers.
They can come back to Lower Decks after watching everything else to get the references.
