It’s pretty nice if you keep in mind that it’s a product of its time and meant for a younger audience (or at least inclusive of a younger audience).
I’d rank The Animated Series close to the bottom of Trek, but significantly above Discovery and Picard.
Lower Decks, which was an excellent animated show definitely geared toward adults, took quite a few elements from TAS. And since it’s such a short show (like 8 hours in total?) I recommend sitting through it before Lower Decks.

Oh, I like-love younger audience programming, but I not think this series is exclusively for younger audiences. The stories are to mature, remember they did want to be on Sat. mornings, with cartoons.
Like Picard, best Captain & not even close, but not about there retirement years & too many other better ‘S T’ series out there.
Yet to watch Lower Desks, again animation problem, but love forever the idea of moving ‘S T’ to the lesser seen/ranked, but equally important characters. Thisvwas such a awesome story idea that should been done with real actors in real scenes & on a huge network.

By ‘T A S’ you mean ‘The Animated Series’, right?

Yep. That’s it’s standard abbreviation in fandom. Other common ones you might already know:
