LD works if you just have a general idea of the Star Trek philosophy. Familiarity with all the series just gives you more ways to enjoy it for all the references.
That being said, I’d highly recommend finishing TNG and the watching all of DS9, at least. You can even try interleaving the two at the point where they ran concurrently, though there’s not a lot of overlap. DS9 really is worth it.
