I gave up watching Picard at the end of Season 1 after
spoiler
they kill Picard and replace him with an android.Season 1 and 2 sucked ass, but season 3 is actually pretty great and you can watch it as a stand alone without really needing to watch the previous 2 seasons.
I strongly disagree. It had promise, but was ultimately very stupid. The entire show uses "Borg" as an excuse to explain away ridiculous concepts that are far-fetched and more akin to magic than technology.
season three was passable at best. people only say it was good because the first two were so unbelievably dogshit
I tried but it feels so shallow.
Picard had a lot of promise, and they almost got it, but overall it was trash IMO. More Star Wars and hand waiving than Trek. It was a beautifully made universe, the SFX were superb, but they seemed to spent all their time and money on that, and none on dialogue or character consistency. Picard is nothing of his former self. He spends three seasons whining and complaining rather than commanding. The writers invent a traumatic backstory for him, depicting his authoritative personality as a character flaw as a result of trauma, rather than a strength of character. I rather disliked what they did to him.
Season 2 was arguably worse.
