I really want to get into the series but I find the pacing quite slow. Any recommendations on how to remedy this?
You've got to click on the individual (multi-episode) pages, but
The AV Club has
excellent, in-depth reviews of the whole series. So, you could decide to only watch, say, episodes Zack Handlen graded B+ or above until you start to genuinely like the show (and it is pretty mediocre in its first two years). Or, you could search for any of the countless Top 10 episode lists online, and start with those.
Beyond that, without you offering a bit more of your perspective, it's hard to guess what you're looking for. In terms of straight-up space thrills and excitement, if "Q Who", "The Best of Both Worlds", and "Yesterday's Enterprise" don't do it for you,
TNG as a whole is probably not your thing.
