The thought of mounting a rescue effort without the Federation's backing is out of the question for Picard, as he notes to Raffi Musiker. Which is what makes the arc a novel one for our dear captain. Go to Full Review Christian Blauvelt IndieWire 02/07/2020

Throughout much of it, especially once Santiago Cabrera's compelling new character, Rios, was introduced, it felt like this show was finally about to achieve warp velocity. Go to Full Review Nick Schager Entertainment Weekly 02/06/2020
"The End Is the Beginning" subsequently sets about cross-cutting between two momentous encounters, both of which culminate with a tense interview. Go to Full Review Andrew Gaudion THN 08/28/2020
3/5

4.5/5
