TNG is a good entry point, but the first two seasons can be rough. Feel free to skip them if they're on the verge of turning you off the series entirely.
Skipping S2 of TNG will mean missing some fantastic episodes. Imagine not seeing The Measure of a Man, A Matter of Honour, or Q Who.
Riker grows a beard in s2, which was such a dramatic shift in the show's quality that it caused a new saying "Riker's Beard", which means the opposite of "Jump the Shark".
The trope is actually called "Grow The Beard".
I've only ever heard it called Riker's Beard, but now I'll know what it means if anyone ever says Grow The Beard!
