Picard is a gem of a show! It's a massive mistake for Paramount+ to cancel this jewel! It took me some time to discover it. Honestly, it's been a while since we've had a good Star Trek TV series. And it's only because I'm enjoying Strange New Worlds so much that I looked.
Picard is a mixture of old friends (Next Gen. and Voyager) and the movies from TOS when Kirk and Spock grew into their senior roles in the federation, and they had more latitude in their roles. Now we get to see the Next Gen. cast grow into senior roles - as we (the patron) grow into ours.
Paramount+ needs to give their audience time to discover Picard!
