There are some gems in the first two seasons also and another thing once you make it through the entire show go back and watch the first two seasons they are more enjoyable when you have seen the entire series its hard to explain but trust me you will.
I watched the first episode and liked it so once I get time, like a lot of time, I'm going to deep dive into it
Everyone's character develops for the most part in this series. It's the Trek that doesn't deal with a utopia, but actual galactic empires that want to reallybsnuff the Feds out and have the means to do so.
So many great episodes, but that first showdown between Picard and Sisko...
Picard: "Have we met before?"
Sisko: "We met in battle at Wolf 359"
Picard:
Picard: "What's really popping off with these Bajorans?"
