In a conversation i had a few days ago, my comment was that it's the most disappointing show in years. As I probably said earlier in the thread, it was 8 hours of poorly-written characters and a mostly nonsensical mess of a plot redeemed only by nostalgia hooks to 20 years ago and Patrick Stewart being Patrick Stewart. It has good moments but it's just not a good show.
I wasn't kidding earlier when I said I liked Discovery (and I mean the first season of Discovery) more, and I didn't even watch that show until I'd been set up to hate it by 3 years of people dogging it here. Which isn't to say it's great, either, but I think it was better than what we got from Picard.
The only thing I really liked about Picard was that they finally let some 'adult' language into the Trek universe. But, for me, nothing else that they did that wasn't some direct call-back to Next Generation worked at all.
Which is probably why we're seeing a shift in the showrunner and writer's room.
