I loved the Dominion war and all the changing alliances etc... so I could (and did) binge watch those episodes in very few sittings. But basically the more self-contained the episodes, the less I like them... so that's ultimately why I prefer DS9 to TNG or Voyager... because of the ongoing story rather than the individual self-contained adventures of normal Star Trek style.
I liked DS9 all the way through... same with TNG and TOS (although the latter had a mixed bag of a third season). The only show that got really bad was Voyager. The final two seasons (excepting some rare gems) was almost unwatchable. Every other episode was about Seven or EMH. Those were very interesting characters at the outset, but the writers wore them out.
