I haven't seen it yet but just from previews and whatnot, it seemed to be about the beginnings of Captain Kirk and the crew so you probably don't need to have watched the original series. I myself grew up on TNG and original series was way before my time, but I'll probably see it soon anyways because it does look very well done.
