I gave up watching Picard at the end of Season 1 after

spoilerthey kill Picard and replace him with an android.
If it's not actually Jean-Luc, I'm not interested. And I'm definitely not interested in returning to Picard's universe with all of those boring ass characters if it means that they'll do another time-travel plotline to save his life. Yawn.

Season 1 and 2 sucked ass, but season 3 is actually pretty great and you can watch it as a stand alone without really needing to watch the previous 2 seasons.

Season 1 was such absolute dog shit. The orbital defense flowers, "JL" etc... but yeah, S3 feels like Kurtzman got kicked in the sack and someone else made Picard. I recommend watching S3 and forgetting the other two were ever made.

Also in S1 Jean Luc Picard picked a bar fight. The person that had his dick dragged through a mile of broken glass getting killed by a Nossican over and over in a bar fight, went to pick a bar fight. What was that show?

I strongly disagree. It had promise, but was ultimately very stupid. The entire show uses "Borg" as an excuse to explain away ridiculous concepts that are far-fetched and more akin to magic than technology.

I tried but it feels so shallow.

season three was passable at best. people only say it was good because the first two were so unbelievably dogshit
