Picard is one of the worst things I have ever watched, period. It's absolutely staggering how many bad decisions the writers made. It doesn't even work as a standalone unconnected to the IP.
IMO I thought S1 was oookkkkaayyy, I really made a mental effort to like it.
S2 was just awful with no redeeming qualities. It was clearly just "well we blew all our budget in S1 to hook in subscribers so let's just have S2 take place in present-day Los Angeles because that's literally the cheapest way to make it".
What's even worse is that Star Trek IV proves that shooting your sci-fi show in modern California can actually be a pretty fun idea and works really well. Picard isn't made from bad ideas, it is made by ruining good ideas.
I tried so hard to like it and gave up after 5 episodes. Romulans who don't know what stealth is, a Picard who is spineless and gullible and who gives up after encountering one major obstacle and condemns billions to death with his inaction, yet another instance of shitty sci-fi writers not understanding the whole mind transfer thing...
Honestly everyone who thinks anything about brain transfer stuff needs to play SOMA and see how horrifying it can become
I mean even outside the terrible lore being presented, the show itself is just badly put together, the acting is universally stiff and awkward, NOBODY FUCKIN BLINKS, Stewart can't emote which is just depressing and the other actors apparently had no direction because it feels like every single scene was straight up just lifted from the first or second take....and I shouldn't be clocking any nervous energy from the actors when the scene obviously isn't signaling any nervousness....this is what directors are for
Makes me wonder what kind of shitty work places these sets are

One where they cater to a doddering old man who should retire
Pretty sure their budget ran out before season one ended, looking at the copy-paste fleet at the last episode.

It makes me theorize that patrick stewart is exactly like how he was portrayed in the show Extras https://youtu.be/Fg_cwI1Xj4M
