I've seen the remake movies, and star trek discovery, both of which I liked. I started watching TOS but can't get through with it.

Is there a better show to start star trek?

I'd say there are a couple of important TOS episodes to watch (like Balance of Terror and Space Seed), in order to understand key plot points in later series. There are a few other TOS episodes you'll want to watch just because they're good (like Dagger of the Mind, The Devil in the Dark, Tomorrow is Yesterday, The City on the Edge of Forever, Operation -- Annihilate!, and The Doomsday Machine, to name a few).

After that, get started on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Find an episode skip-list for the first two seasons, because they have a lot of bad episodes, then watch every episode from there on out.

Start with the next generation and then deep space 9. Be warned that both shows start off shit but are excellent by season 3-4. You can always skip the first 2 seasons of each show if you want. There's a great skip guide for DS9 I've posted before.
