    I really liked the first season of Picard a lot. This first episode of the seond season was a mess, from the "oh your partner/other actor on this show isn't here because he died/wasn't invited back, let's justify it by saying romulans get over one death by immediately getting under someone else" lmfao and it only got worse from there. oh my gosh so cringe, the whole thing.

    Maman!!!! Why is this childhood story so boring and annoying? Is it only there to reduce production cost?

    I love love love TNG (and anything with Patrick Stewart) but as of episode 4 this is almost unwatchable. The story is boring and derivative, and the writing not much better. Why did the writers think we would care about any of this?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly expected much worse after season 1. I did not care for the first season at all. If I weren't in a show hole at the time this came out, I probably would have written it off like I did Discovery (though season 3 of DSC was fun in the beginning, but they killed it after about episode 3). This started off much the same for me. I was scratching my head like, "what's a 97 year old man doing trying to get laid?" Also, since when does a Romulan have an Irish accent. If I'm asking these little questions right off the bat, the show is losing my attention and that's never good.

    First, I don't care about Picard's relationship with his mom. I just don't and a person this old and accomplished should have resolved those issues long ago. I mean, move on. I was scratching my head until the end.

    The last few minutes are the best. We're back on a Federation starship with the gang (though I'm not really sure why Alison Pill's character is there? She is a murderer after all and not in Starfleet). And the Borg and Q are back! Fun stuff.

    Calling it now, the Borg Queen is Picard's mother and the whole season is Mommy Issues. I'm okay with that as long as there's some fun, episodic television. It'll tide me over until May when the new show comes out.

    While seeing Stewart at the helm is in some respects reward enough, the producers rely a bit too heavily on that goodwill with a season that, three hours in, feels as if it's barely gotten out of drydock.

    So far season two feels more promising now that character introductions are largely out of the way and the whole team shares a goal.

    Nobody would mistake Picard for Star Trek in its prime. But it has captured some of that hard to define, easy to recognise Trek essence. And if not exactly at warp speed – there are still a few too many Stewart soliloquies – it has undoubtedly located its missing sense of derring-do and is hurtling satisfyingly towards interstellar overdrive.
