Yeah, the entire revival (I'd say that is more accurate term than reboot, for a few reasons) from 2005 onward is on HBO Max. Pretty easy to watch.

I would definitely recommended starting there even if you're interested in the Classic series. They're set up like two different shows in a lot of ways. The Modern version is like a typical drama; a season's worth of hour long episodes that include story arcs. The Classic series was more like a radio serial. A single story would be broken up in multiple segmented episodes that would each be broadcast weekly. It's such a huge difference in pacing and story design that makes them two different experiences.

I think the series is amazing though, and it's well worth your time investing in. Each season isn't that long anyway, so you can progress though the new series fairly quickly. Some people struggle with the earlier episodes (I've heard people recommend skipping the first season of the revival, which I DON'T agree with, but it does start off slightly shaky at moments. People really hate and are embarrassed by the episode with the farting aliens, although ironically that one does have some really good character stuff in it). My advice is if you try it out and it still doesn't hook you, at least watch up to ninth and tenth episodes of the first season, which I think perfectly exemplifies how good the show can be at its peak.
