I just started this show. I haven’t really liked any Star Trek show since STNG, so I kept putting this one off. Mostly because Picard hasn’t been well received

I am halfway through season one. I am not sure what to say about this show. I don’t love it. Parts have a lot of promise and parts are just so clumsy. It has a serial story, but it is clear that whoever is writing it is still thinking episodically. Things are really sped up and the writers have an obsession with illustrating backstory in the worse way. So many scenes with laborious dialogue.

The show is also a lot more realistic view of the federation than previous Trek products I have seen.

Overall there is enough goodness to keep me watching and again, I don’t love it.

It's more fun, certainly.

But I wouldn't say it was any better - if that refers to quality.

It was my favourite season of the three, but pulling out the big nostalgia guns made it even more obvious they were really getting desperate.

They had to invent such a contrived and ridiculous plot, all to justify why that nostalgia trip could happen, or make the faintest bit of sense.
