Critics Consensus

Anchored by the incomparable Patrick Stewart, Picard departs from standard Starfleet protocol with a slower, serialized story, but like all great Star Trek it tackles timely themes with grace and makes for an exciting push further into the final frontier.

It helps that Star Trek: Picard seems leaner and less episodic than previous series, playing like a straight mystery action-thriller with fewer flourishes of philosophy and wardrobe.

Star Trek: Picard is Star Trek, so there's a rulebook on the table; but it's wonderfully unpredictable, turning what historically risked looking like a packaged theme park ride into a properly thrilling narrative rollercoaster.

Overall, it felt eerily successful, a bit like when McDonald's started selling salads and decent coffee.

2.5/5

In today’s crowded TV universe, however, it takes more than saying “engage!” to engage, and keep, an audience.

Picard ultimately is all about Stewart being back in that titular role. He's done stronger work over the years as Picard, but this aging, more-vulnerable version of the figure is, like the show itself, compelling.

3/5

Star Trek: Picard is founded on the approach that Trek is designed to reflect the world in which we live, as opposed to the world we expect the 24th century to be.

I love all Star Trek series, but this one…. Pacing was incredibly S L O W. And so incredibly grateful I borrowed the DVD set from my local library.

I like how they progress the series from the original. Interesting and fun to me.

This was so disappointing. I remember trying harder and harder to find positive aspects as the season progressed, but finding fewer and fewer. Looking back, they were never there. The season fails on all levels. The new worldbuilding is not well thought out. The old lore was mostly ignored. The new characters are more contrived than skillfully crafted. The old ones were internally mutilated to serve the supposedly "progressive" meta-message. The show looked good, but visuals are irrelevant if the plot is terrible. And even that was not more than a boring rehash of familiar sci-fi and fantasy tropes.

The first season of Star Trek: Picard excels at bringing back beloved legacy icons, but the experience is bogged down by excessive drama and special effects. It offers a nostalgic reunion that unfortunately struggles under the weight of its own poor writing and technical execution.

Descent premise, but the political nonsense distracted from the show. Leaving the audience asking what that had to do with the plot. A little lighter on the political agenda and the show would have been 4 and 1/2 stars

I know this series got review bombed, but I truly enjoyed Picard. The only character that annoyed me was Raffaela, but watching the original cast back in action was great.
