OK, I get it. ST Picard may not be all the things Star Trek lovers yearned for. It is lacking that Gene Roddenberry magic. Rather than portraying a bright, optimistic future, it's fairly dark and dystopian. There is actual profanity (gasp), a little substance abuse, and some very intense violence. It feels a lot more like a generic, run-of-the-mill sci-fi endeavor than Star Trek.
But, good grief, get over it. This show is terrific. It even has a bit of the classic Star Trek campiness (of course we can't go undercover on a foreign world without a pimp hat, an eyepatch, and a French accent!) The visuals are great, the storyline is suspenseful, and Patrick Stewart is magnificent. We've had Data, 7 of 9, Hugh, and here comes Riker! I love it!
Bottom line, I am a very fussy, very critical reviewer. But I am here to tell you all these one star reviews are ridiculous, and you are missing a lot if you don't give this show a try.
