There’s a lot of episodes that only have impact of you are invested in the characters. Some are or self contained so could be worth a watch but it depends on the audience.
If anyone that likes sci-fi asks me I always say DS9. It has plot arcs and characters that grow, also a few silly and not so good bits but it stands up.
If they like that or like something similar like Stargate, seaquest, farscape or Sliders then we can find something for them, if they haven’t really tried sci-fi then you could do worse than strange new worlds within Trek or commit and try The Expanse for some modern sci-fi that kicks ass.
