If you are going to get into Star Trek you absolutely should start with the original. You can get over the 60s production quality in a few episodes and start enjoying some of the best sci fi ever made.

Either of TOS or TNG is a fine introduction to Star Trek, but either way, it's not serialized so there's no need to make anyone watch them all in order. Almost nobody back when they were on got into them by starting at the first episode and watching them exclusively in order, because that was virtually impossible to actually do. Almost 100% of Trek's pre-streaming fan base got into the series by catching whatever episodes were on.
