First two seasons of TNG are rough.Yet there's not much value in skipping any besides maybe Code of Honor. Can't just tell people to go straight to the third season.
First two seasons of TNG are rough.I thought season 2 was good honestly apart from a couple here and there.
The early seasons of Discovery are rough unless you like the Michael Burnham Show

Season two was fine. They really started to find their footing and the show started getting better and better from then on. Plus Riker has the beard starting S2.Yeah, season 2 of TNG isn't quite the great show it would become but it's getting there. It's a lot better than season 1 and The Measure of a Man is legitimately one of the best episodes of the series. Season 2 is also when the Borg were introduced.

Season 2 is pretty good, its really only the first season thats rough.
I think I'm still a little lost on how the original movies fit into TOS, if they do. Are there seasons I should sneak the movies in between or didn't it work like that?
Babylon 5.
Unfortunately you started with NuTrek. Quality Star Trek of the 80s and 90s will either 1) feel boring and not appeal to you at all or 2) ruin NuTrek for you.
Watch from the beginning in release order
The TOS episode Space Seed will explain who Khan is if you want that info for Wrath of Khan, but even that isn't needed because even someone who's never seen Trek before could enjoy that movie.
TOS is better to watch in production order, with the possible exception of The Menagerie Part 1 and 2 which I think were filmed in reverse order because of actor scheduling.

There is also The Animated Series which is basically another season of The Original Series, but as a cartoon. So if you watch TOS and enjoy it, I would recommend continuing with TAS.I always forget about TAS. It's nothing amazing but it's not bad as a continuation of TOS.
Along with the suggestions already made, I would also recommend The Orville. It's not ST (although it's obviously based off of it) and it's more comedy oriented but it's a really fun series.
But what would you watch next?

DS9 or TNG are so damn good. DS9 is my favorite and I would recommend that.
Honestly, I think I'll end up watching them in whatever order they are presented on whatever streaming service I find them on.Eh, viewing order makes a bit of difference in this franchise

TOS should be first because its so much older than the rest of the shows, it might be jarring going from modern special effects to old school. Theres also a fair amount of callbacks in everything subsequent.
DS9 builds off of TNG, and Voyager builds off DS9 so if you dont watch those in order youll be missing some context for example.
I wouldn't say out loud that Discovery and Picard are awful until their final seasons but...I tried Discovery and couldn't get into it. I very much enjoyed SNW and I really like Picard. But I am an odd person that likes Voyager best of all the series'. But I def do not hate TNG or TOS. I could never get into DS9. I tried, just not for me. I like most of the old movies and the newer ones. Star Trek: The motion picture was meh. As was 3 and 5. But 2, 4 and 6 were good. Especially 2 and 4.
Also it gets hated on but I thought Enterprise was great and Scott Bakula was perfect as Archer.
my opinion is that DS9 is the best, but at least some TNG is needed for context before watching DS9.
What other shows are part of the new era?
Dr. Bashir's actor is in it, and it's pretty fun.
