<p><em>Dragon Ball Super</em> is the latest iteration of <em>Dragon Ball</em> (as of current writing). I recommend starting with <em>Dragon Ball</em>, followed by <em>Dragon Ball Z</em> and then watch <em>Dragon Ball Super</em> if you wish to watch all the episodes in order and in succession.</p>

<p>There is also <em>Dragon Ball GT</em> which isn't canon with the original series. You could perhaps consider it as something which happens in an alternate timeline and watch it after <em>Dragon Ball Z</em>. Please note that <em>Dragon Ball Super</em> is the actual continuation of <em>Dragon Ball Z</em>.</p>

so watching Dragon Ball Z Kai instead of the original Dragon Ball Z is a viable option?

1. If you want to start with the beginning, start with ***Dragon Ball***. If you want to start with the most popular segment (probably the most entertaining segment, but this is a matter of opinion), start with ***Dragon Ball Z***. Many people haven't seen *Dragon Ball* and yet they understand most of what follows it without watching *Dragon Ball*.
2. I don't know if ***Dragon Ball Z Kai*** counts exactly as a "reboot", but it is a modified version of ***Dragon Ball Z***, in HD, with new color, new lines, new backgrounds, re-recorded voices and sound effects, new openings and endings, new background music, deleted scenes and episodes, etc.
3. ***Dragon Ball Super*** is a continuation of ***Dragon Ball Z*** and ***Dragon Ball***.
