It's definitely nutrek but it's halfway back to old trek in the format IMHO. Not just the paintjob but in the types of episodes they tend to do. Picard was unwatchable for me. "Hey nerd 'member the Enterprise D? 'Member??? Ok now fuck off"
Those two series, Picard and Lower Decks, are perfect case studies on how to handle nostalgia very badly and very well, respectively. In the future I will give a chance to any TV series or movie that the Lower Decks writers are involved with.
The TNG movies made me question if Patrick Stewart still truly understood his most famous character. The Picard series made me realize that he probably never did.
