I’m going through TNG for the first time, and I’m approaching it with the idea that you’ve got to take in everything on a first round, the good, the bad, and Lwaxana Troi episodes.
I’ve got admit, though, every time I see her or a Ferengi, all my baser violent Klingon-esque urges come out, and I’d like to take a shotgun to my TV.
The Ferengi get a lot more interesting in DS9, once they add a few Ferengi main characters. In TNG they are mostly just a recurring villain. The DS9 Ferengi episodes are god-tier.
