Was Picard good?

  I’d recommend plowing thru the first season (it’s just ok but has some key moments and introduces some new characters), skip season 2 entirely, then watch the full third season. Third season was fantastic although the plot starts to thin by the end. Nostalgia and at least one great new character introduced. Second season does give closure on a few characters new and old, maybe worth watching if you got the time. But overall don’t let it stop you from getting to season 3.

  First season was like "let's see which character they bring back from the old series(es) this episode just to kill them off".

  Unfortunately, IMO, no. Part of the problem with Picard is that it was for all intents and purposes a character study of Jean-Luc Picard, and what people wanted was another season of TNG. It had a lot of good ideas, particularly around the Borg, but it just wasted their potential.

    I really think it was a poorer show for indulging Patrick Stewart. Most of the things people disliked about the show were straight out of the things he asked for. No uniform, not an officer any more, no starship... They built the show around his character, but that version of the character kind of sucked. It wasn't the Picard we knew. There was even the moment where Riker was the cautious one, and Picard reckless. It was less a character study and more a character deconstruction, and I hate those.
