Of all the Star Trek series, this one I have been made the most reluctant to watch, especially since I am jumping from TNG. But I gotta say, it is a charming look into the early days of Starfleet when the warp is barely 5, the humans haven't established themselves in the galaxy and the universal translator doesn't work sometimes. I have missed hearing alien languages in TNG and first contacts are always delightful.
I can't average my ratings for this season because I'd have to go back and rewatch about a third of it to fill in missing episode ratings first. But like every other Star Trek series, Enterprise gets off to a bit of a shaky start. Episode quality is a bit all over the place, with awful episodes airing in between the average ones and only occasionally letting off something truly great.
But it's just season one. Something about the plot line started in the season finale should lead to more interesting arc-based stories.

Going where no Trek series has gone before, Enterprise is a daring and edgy science-fiction television show. Set as a prequel to the other Trek series, Starfleet ventures out into space for the first time with its first long-range ship, the USS Enterprise, to explore strange new worlds and meet new civilizations. The show has a few drawbacks, given the limits that come with prequels, but it’s also able to make old things new and put a spin on the familiar aliens and technologies of Star Trek. The series is also able to find a good balance of serial and episodic storytelling by having one-off adventures and an overarching plot involving a Temporal Colds War. However, the character dynamics of the crew are a bit hit and miss; though the Archer and T’Pol relationship is quite compelling. Season 1 of Enterprise provides a thrilling and adventurous journey into an uncharted part of the Star Trek Universe for both new viewers and dedicated fans alike.
