I kept shouting at the tv that this was wrong. It felt like an action hero movie with too many characters trying to be interesting at the same time (which most action hero movies are these days).

Star Trek: Picard feels like a return to form. It is perfect? No. Is it always consistent (with previous incarnations or with itself)? No. Is it engaging? Yes. Will it grow out of its imperfections? I suspect so, like most of the previous ST series (watching the first season of any ST series is usually cringe-worthy). So far, this is a serious attempt at ST. The acting is good. The dialogues are good. The action is reasonable (no mushroom drives here).

I say, give it a chance.… Expand

After Star Trek Discovery left me very disappointed, Star Trek Picard has corrected the franchise's course. This show is dialogue and character driven, it avoids the modern overuse of action sequences, it bears a nuanced moral message, and it builds upon the great Star Trek canon without haphazardly rewriting it.

The acting is stellar, and Patrick Stewart brings a softer touch to the role. This is very much in line with Picard as we last saw him in Star Trek Nemesis. The easter eggs and nostalgia driven cameos aren't overused. Much as I'd still love to see more from our old friends, they've avoided making this show a mere TNG throwback. Picard stands on its own as a unique adventure in the rich Star Trek universe. As a lifelong Star Trek fan dating back to the 80s, I couldn't be happier with this product.… Expand

I won't spoil anything but all I can say that this knows it's root (TNG and even Voyager and DS9) but stands as a completely different kind of beast.

Rather than the episode by episode basis of adventures of the Enterprise, the series itself was a wonderful change of what would these characters do if they had a common purpose played out. Compared to Star Trek, and TNG where a problem would be placed in front of the characters and they would spend a single hour solving it, this series presents a problem and spends ten episodes solving it with beautiful visuals and wonderful acting by Stewart and the cast. This series is a change, yes. Though it is a change that should be welcomed with an open mind rather than expecting what we would all see and watch as kids when those characters would stand aboard the USS Enterprise and go on adventures. The writing was on point, the acting was amazing, and the visuals all came together to tell that story. I would recommend anyone and everyone to go see this, but see it with an open mind.… Expand

If you takeI'm not quite sure where a lot of the fan hate is coming for this series; I suspect it is people expecting TNG: The Sequel, but from the start this has been its own kind of series, with a contigous story played over ten episodes. If you take it for what it is, and not what it is not, it's a well above average series. There were some moments where there was a plot hole or two, or perhaps more foreshadowing than events deserved, but it's still one of the stronger Trek series, with idealism and pragmatism colliding in that same fashion as we saw in "In a Pale Moonlight" or "Homefront" from DS9. And ultimate, this series isn't about a dystopia, or in some way a betrayal of Starfleet. Consider this: in TNG we meet a lot of admirals, and a good 80% of the time its when they are violating laws or ignoring morals. And after one of the earlier Starfleet discussion with Picard, I was about ready to throw my hands up and say "yay, yet more Starfleet is evil B.S., abandon all hop-" and then immediately after that scene we get a leader doing the right thing, investigating an important matter despite her personal feelings and belief that events were implausible. Doing her job even if she didn't want to. And that pays off by the end, as we see in that final communication. This is Starfleet. They are good. They are a utopia.. but you don't just make utopia and then all problems are solved forever. It's something you earn by struggling to overcome the worst parts of our natures.… Expand

The firstI went into this show wanting to love it, but thinking I might hate it, due to Patrick Stewart bringing up Brexit and Trump, and suggesting it was in opposition to those things in an interview. I am glad I didn't skip watching.

The first episode has quite a bit of action, considering that they still need to bring us into the new story line. Fight scenes are quite good. I am really digging the new android(s). When the episode was over, I was left with so many directions the story can go that I am excited to see what they choose.

The second episode is a bit slow. Picard is trying to get to the Android's twin, and is having trouble due to politics. It doesn't have much to love in it, but it does go into more information about how things have gotten to where they are. I am still hopeful that the story will get back to being as good or better than the original episode.

Anyway, don't let the idea that Picard is political get to you. It may be intended as a political statement, but it is not directly referencing anything current, so I don't think it will get too preachy.… Expand

The setting is more dark like DS9 and Star Trek Nemesis. It's also continuing th Nemesis story so that's all great.
I gave it only a 7 because of th horrible visuals. I find it hard to watch becausd of the constand powerfull background light. It's like they want to give every character this light halo. The result is hard to make out faces with lensflares all over the place. It's like some one is continually shining a flashlight in your face. It is anoying and distracting plus all visual detail gets lost.
And there is the new team. Not the most interesting set of characters played by mediocre to poor actors. There's not one I really like. Then again the directing leaves a lot to be desired. I could go on about lazy careless space ship design. However that has been a Star Trek problem ever since TNG. All in all not without hope but there is roon for improvement. So a 7… Expand

The plot took great liberties to go to interesting venues. The plot was murky at times with the justification for the visit or why key characters are where they are.
However, it actually works. It is hard to follow, but the justification makes sense.
In the end though, the most important success is the theme. This was a ten episode morality story with action, and adventure. Picard, in the end, focuses on the question of what do you do when the organization you love, represented, and served fails you as it falls from its ideals.

It is answered in the middle of the series, but requires a few more episodes to SHOW it in action. "I allowed the perfect to become the enemy of the good."

That sentence summarizes the show quite well. We could hate it for a few plot holes that needed a couple sentences to address. Or we could be happy with all the other things it does so well.

I will just choose to be happy with it. It captured the core and themes I grew up with. And that good far outweighs the bad.… Expand

I really liked the new characters in this. I thought the show did a good job of setting up their personalities and backstories. Patrick Stewart continues to do a great job as Picard. Since this is supposed to take place twenty years after the last Next Generation movie, we do get a naturally progressed take on the character. Picard is older now and retired and has gotten to that old man point in his life where he stopped caring what anyone else thinks and has loosened up a bit.

This show varies from TNG by being serialized rather than episodic, giving this an almost theatrical quality. The story and the different places our heroes travel to are interesting. There is also a small sense of humor that helps balance some of the darker parts.

However, I admit this isn't a perfectly written show. (There were moments where I considered rating this a little lower but then there'd be a moment that would remind me why I liked the show.) The emphasis on character development does eat into the overarching plot and I felt that parts, especially the revelation of the big mystery, weren't explained as well as they could. The show is also pretty confusing about what parts of the universe need money and what don't.

There are moments that feel like they were ideas from the writers and weren't natural. There will be a couple of times where you'll go "Wait! What?!". In particular, this applies to some of the kills in this. I'm not one of those people complaining about the show just because it's darker. (Even TNG had its darker episodes.) However, some of the kills in this feels like the writers were going for a "Games of Thrones" shock value rather than really being needed.

Picard looks pretty impressive for television, keeping the look and feel of the nineties shows but able to do this on a larger scale. I especially liked that they kept the bright lighting scheme from TNG. Be sure to check out the opening credits.

Overall, I can see how some people could like this less than me because there are some legitimate parts of contention, but I at least recommend you give this a shot before you make up your mind.… Expand

Why name it Picard and use TNG Characters and lore would be my question. Also to be fair that TNG and DS9 started weaker too (but not on this low level to be fair). Lets go to the first elephant in the room. I will not enter the debate if this is even Star Trek anymore but say I can see the validity of the argument. I am still thinking this is set in a darker parallel timeline or universe as I do not recognize how things could develop like this. I mean Starfleet, the Federation, many characters and choices. For example I say the antagonist have valid reasons and this comes from someone who would fight for Data’s and the Doctors rights even putting his live on the line. Both are favorites of mine and are more human than many biological humans. Again to be fair I would also say this also if the roles were reversed. You could however argue about cause and effect. It ends not there as Picard would never have Sometimes I thought it reminds me of the dirtier more grubby Star Wars look. The character or performance is a bit mixed. Patrick Steward as Picard is amazing and even haters acknowledge this. Jeri Ryan as Seven is hindered by the script and this weakened her. I must say that I am a fan of her and Seven of Nine was the best addition to a cast I can think of. Isa Briones surprised me positively and I want to see more of her. Michelle Hurd as Raffi is also handicapped by the script. I can see her being truly awesome if they put more effort in the writing. The rest is fine but I repeat many established characters are mishandled and this leaves a sour taste. Overall this is a weak first season with some good moments.… Expand

Once I accepted, based on the trailer, that this would be yet another dark and conflict-focused show, I did like what they came up with as the focus of the conflict, because it was a new type of being, which is good for a "Star Trek". And I allowed myself to be pleasantly surprised by the way they used somf of the old ST technology we were used to in some new ways (like for a certain fight scene).

But beyond that it's been disappointment after disappointment, and I haven't been able to watch most episodes without some fast-forwarding. First of all, most of the character writing and acting is bad, everyone's "too cool for school" and throwing snappy replies all over the place, just like the totally obnoxious characters from Discovery. Picard himself is unrecognizable, there's no serious and dignified attitude anymore, he never wears the uniform, never stands up for Starfleet's high principles, spends time with some ragtag band of misfits, which is completely un-Picard-like, and worst of all he's the focus of some strange "Picard Cult" the writers have created INSIDE the universe. WTH is that?! There was never any premise for that in TNG. He was just one of many Starfleet captains with healthy attitudes and principles, there was no reason to make him out to be this great hero that everyone knows about. He's a great hero for US THE VIEWERS, not in-world! It's very tiresome to keep seeing characters give all kinds of extreme reactions on finding out who he is, that was never what Picard was about - being a galactic rock star.

Really the only likeable character in all this is dr. Jurati, because she has some realistic non-superstar modesty and is well acted. The main female character, while she does have some humility, is not well acted at all, the actress they picked does not have enough emotional range, even though she's almost passable because she's at least not acting like a superstar all the time.

And while I fully expected there to be some throwbacks and a conversation or two about the good old days, it turns out that there's almost no episode without some sitting around the table scene, having a boring conversation about how things used to be and irrelevant stuff that happened in the past that does nothing to move the plot forward. This is just bad writing.

Then on the tech side they also failed to make this a "Star Trek", with the most annoying part being the ship interfaces, which have nothing whatsoever to do with the LCARS we used to know. I could forgive the fact that they went with this popular stupidity going around these days of making the GUIs transparent and therefore unnecessarily hard to read, but they could have at least preserved the general "okudagram" look, to make them feel like "real Star Trek interfaces" to us TNG fans. But no, they threw that part out as well.

Bottom line, there is no trekking, nobody's seeking out new life and new civilizations (we're practically served the new life on a platter in the first episode), and this is not Star Trek. Thank Seth we have The Orville, which I can't wait to see continue.… Expand

Engage: Fantastic, Haven't enjoyed a twisty, turvy, edge of your seat, Trek Adventure like this since Wrath of Kahn (original) nor enjoyed the stoicism and leadership of Picard maybe ever as much as this series he really is in a pickle of sorts and he takes it One Impossible Thing At A Time, I liked the Next Generation but if I missed an episode it wasn't a big deal. This is a binge watch series for sure wife and I did it in two sittings during our coronapocalypse, the CBS app is absolutely garbage with their dumbass ads they have no timing and ruin many moments that would've been even more intimate and enjoyable. They literally will hit you at twice the volume mid sentence, it's jarring and horri....

Contrary of most negative review, i dont think Picard is diminished or disrespected at all, on contrary,its a most humble man here which as learned from his experienced; he was not unblamished at all in the 90's series. The success of the original was due of ALL thecrew members and their interactions, success, failure. I rewatched before Picard.
In addition here, no social agenda here. And a pleasure to see again, Commandant Data,Concelor Deanna Troi and Number One William Reeker, Hugh, hope there will be head of security, Lieutenant Worf. Not perfect but good stuff.… Expand

I've been a Trek fan since 1966, when I was 6 years old. I know my way around the franchise as a whole. I can't understand what these reviewers have against the latest Trek series, or why they insist they are "not Star Trek." You'd think thatI've been a Trek fan since 1966, when I was 6 years old.

You'd think that if anyone were to complain, it would be us oldsters who were used to the earlier iterations, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

The Picard series is poetic and visually beautiful. Jeff Russo's superb music adds tremendously to the experience-- the opening theme is one of the most exquisite pieces ever to grace a TV show, and the visual art that accompanies it is equally high in quality and emotional appeal.

Everything changes with the times. Star Trek, over half a century on, has also changed. If it hadn't, I bet these same folks would be complaining that it lacked originality.… Expand

Season 3 is amazing. People are review bombing this because of homophobia. Guess they do not understand the true meaning of what being a Trekkie is.

Hold your Phasers! episodes 4 to 6 are actually good. Worf (He’s always good, the actor cares for the character) and the changelling plot are moving the ship forward.

Season 1 was for the most part well done and intriguing (and we just covered Season 2 IMHO). As a result, I really didn't have my hopes up for #3. I WAS WRONG to do so. #3 was the best of them all. Despite the fact that they cribbed off just about every SciFi franchise out there, they did a GREAT job! So much so that by the numerous epilogues in the finale' I found myself slowly golf clapping and muttering "well done, sirs" to myself as the screen faded to black and my heroes from the past 35 years took their (hopefully final) curtain call. I say final cuz I really can't imagine them doing a better job putting it to bed than this. I MAY wanna see cameos of some of these guys in spinoffs (Riker, Geordi & maybe Worf)..but poor Patrick Stewart. Jeez it seemed he could barely speak his lines at times..much less "act". Yeah, I hope he takes the hint and just gracefully retires. THIS "ending" is how I'd like to remember him. (Kirk out)… Expand

Exciting, well mixed. Unfortunately, the whole HD version on BluRay is not free of compression in the picture due to the lack of bitrate. The digital streaming variants are even worse. It's also a pity that everything was shot in an image format that would look good on old Western or Hostoria films, but not in a top modern science fiction series adapted to domestic TV sets. Despite all this, a recommendation for all Trekkies

Star Trek Picard ist eine würdige Star Trek Serie die (endlich mal) mit ein paar Traditionen bricht und somit auch gleich etwas zeitgemäßer wirkt. Spannend, gut abgemischt. Leider ist das ganze als HD-Version auf BluRay nicht frei von Kompression im Bild mangels Bitrate. Die digitalen Streaming Varianten sind sogar noch etwas schlimmer. Schade ist zudem auch, dass alles in einem Bildformat gedreht wurde, welches eher alten Western- oder Hostorienfilme gut stehen würde, aber keiner top modernen Sciencefiction Serie angepasst an heimische TV Geräte.

I guess it's interesting, but the season was generally boring. Season 2? Absolute **** Not even Star Trek. Everything was wrong and woke with **** show (and I know just saying woke puts me on the other side automatically, but it's not true). Couldn't even finish that garbage.

Season 3? As with both seasons 1&2, it started out great and that always worries me. Those worries were unfounded. I'll steal the argument from RLM that it's really the SNG movie we always wanted. A great resolution to all the characters. I really enjoyed it, and that kinda bothered me, lol. Lots of fan service and member berries, but I did dig the plot. Can't say I liked Picard's son or Beverly Crusher (and they did a bit of wokiness in making her a **** expert on everything; and that plastic surgery made her look lie the girl puppet from the Puppet Master movies). I never liked Beverly Crusher so it didn't shock me that I don't now. And thank god they didn't get Wesley. I think I heard he's dead by now? Good! Overall I was pleasantly surprised.… Expand

Season 1 of Picard was impressive, a beloved return to what made TNG special. Season 2 was a meandering mess, focusing too much on the childhood traumas of our protagonist. But season 3 ignited a spark of fandom that always smouldered insideSeason 1 of Picard was impressive, a beloved return to what made TNG special. Season 2 was a meandering mess, focusing too much on the childhood traumas of our protagonist. But season 3 ignited a spark of fandom that always smouldered inside every TNG fan. Now that the finale is over I am choked up with emotion and fulfillment. The writers have expertly woven in the threads of previous seasons, focusing on the meaning of a well-lived life - dedicated to duty and loyalty. If anything the interaction of old crew members shows that bonds forged last forever. A recurring theme is the eternal question of legacy, which certainly plagues any person blessed or cursed enough to reach old age. The struggles of parents and children span the ages, regardless of which galaxy you live in. This season is the most meaningful stellar conjugation and alignment of all the old shows, revisiting relics of the past while paying respectful tribute. The writers did a fantastic job, with quotes such as “Stars in the same galaxy, light years between us” and “We are not in control of what we pass on”. The power of memories demonstrated was very moving - we exist because of the memories that define us. It is fitting that Picard and his faithful crew would face up against his most iconic and lethal intergalactic foe, in yet another monumental showdown across time and space. Sci-Fi offers no greater villains.
If there is a recurring lesson here, sophisticated organizations like Starfleet are incredibly vulnerable to the slow, insidious, internal threat. The sins of past deeds do return on a titanic scale, and the arrogance of those in power hastens the demise. Seeing all the TNG crew together around the same table, older and way cooler, was a truly unforgettable moment in TV history. Other franchises that missed such opportunities will be held accountable for ages to come. It was particularly satisfying to see each of our beloved characters achieving their fullest potential and meaning in a life well-lived. I am so glad there was no empty fan service. This is truly a passing of the torch and legacy preservation. It was so fulfilling to see one last poker game before any of these beloved crew members trekked into the great beyond the afterlife. The after-credits scene aptly lays the ground for much anticipated and appreciated adventures to come.… Expand

I did't have high hopes for Picard at all so going into season 1 with very low expectations probably helped me to get through it. I was happy to see familiar faces back at it even if didn't hold up very well. Season 2 fell pretty flat with me with old tropes revisited and not very well. I wasn't interested in season 3 and wasn't going to 'engage' but boredom and reluctance to watch yet another Fail Army video tipped me over the edge. I can safely say I am so glad I gave it a go. Season 3 certainly has its flaws but it is one hell of a solid watch. Amanda Plummer is fantastic as Vadic with so many similarities to Khan. Todd Stashwick as the reluctant and somewhat haunted Captain Shaw is also a welcome addition. This series so far has offered plenty of action balanced with enough moments to give characters some depth. The ship design is so familiar and really pays homage to the original series and movies. The story is big and compelling and this I fear may be season 3's downfall. I could easily see this story stretched out of 2 x 10 ep seasons. I'm up to ep 7 and I fear there is no way they will be able to tie this up in a satisfying way. It's a shame this is the last season. Showrunner Terry Matalas has definitely worked some magic. For the first time in a while I actually feel like I'm watching Trek. Even has that quippy old school trek humour in the mix. Obviously this is not the Star Trek of old and if you go in with that expectation there are going to be disappointments, but it's important to remember the old series used to have 20+ episodes per season and a 7 season run. which gave plenty of time to build in all the aspects that people are crying this show doesn't have. Times have changed as have audiences. Season 3 is a good balance of old and new. The most disappointing thing, is that they didn't do this from season 1… Expand

It is everything that Star Trek was never meant to be. It focuses on violence, dystopian themes, secret organizations, sex, war, yellow-journalism, distrust, capitalism, inter-personal drama, and every other lazy story telling element that a show can choose to utilize. They ruined entire characters by making them Han Solo, or by making them behave in ways opposite of what was established in former shows. They reduced the Federation to a cheap, poorly scripted reflection of today's society. Its overall quality and story-telling seems aimed at angsty teens, which is reflected in its lack of depth and meaning and focus on interpersonal-drama. Gone are the high-minded ideals and quality story telling of former shows. Instead we get something puked out and barely watchable unless you are in the mood for cheap action scifi. It isn't as bad as STD, but it is close.… Expand

Inconsistencies, useless dialogues, scripts written by the janitor on a scrap of toilet paper 5mins before the shooting, changes of direction overnight etc are unfortunately the standard in modern shows. One can not expect a miracle just because it has star trek in the title. And one has to abuse the magic of fastforwarding... So the first season is very good, they take the time to lay down a world, the characters. The technique is impeccable throughout the show. Second season it starts going sideways, timetravel to fix **** so fresh, we haven't seen that before. The third is a **** but it brings back together the whole cast, and on the enterprise d on top of that, which is after all what we expected from the show, no matter what bs reason. Overall a fun show to watch… Expand
