TNG is probably my favorite from just from nostalgia, but the SNW appearence feels like it blends all the Klingons we've seen perfectly into one definitive Klingon. It's got elements of the TNG Klingons, but also heavily influenced by the TMP Klingons, and it even salvages the good parts of the Disco Klingons, and ties them all up in one package that really feels Klingon.

the skin looks a bit plasticy, though, like bad cgi. :(
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I feel like there’s even a little hint of TOS Klingons in there.
TNG by far, but I'm willing to live with SNW.
I second this
Honestly, I think the Kelvin Klingons look great.
The Discovery Klingons have a fantastic alien look that evoke exactly the right reaction for the story they were telling in season one, though the makeup was awfully heavy.
I like the Kelvin ones too. The ridged helmets, light blue eyes contrasting darker skin, ornaments drawing attention to the forehead ridges, their guttural calls during the fight, and that one main actors mannerisms all worked well. Still not my fav, that probably belongs to DS9, but still. I liked em.

Are the SNW Klingons different enough to count as a unique aesthetic? I think they're about as different from the TNG Klingons as the various movie Klingons are.
SNW I thought did a pretty good job of blending TNG and Disco and they look pretty good. Overall, probably TNG though
