I only ever watched a few episodes of the animated series and it kinda bored me. This being live action I thought I'd give it a bash.
Might have been a mistake. I'm only a couple of episodes in and, although I do like the overall idea of the story, I can't figure out if it's trying to be serious or slapstick? The acting is gosh-darn awful, like a school drama production. I'm yet to find one character that seems genuine.
The idea itself should be deep and meaningful, with great mystical powers of good vs evil. But what we end up with is wooden acting, forced humour (I think it's meant to be humour anyway) and a longing for something better.
Maybe the animated show got it across better, I probably won't find out as animations of that style just don't hold me. Such a shame as the imagery is actually pretty good. Not the best I've ever seen but certainly passable.
I give it 5 stars just because of the storyline idea. The execution of it... Maybe 3 stars.

This was very watchable with some nice nostalgia moments. I don't want to hype too much though as series 2 also opened strong but then quickly spiralled into utter garbage after about 3 episodes.
If they can maintain the feel of this and keep a good storyline, it might actually be a decent final season of Picard. Hopefully they have learned from Strange New Worlds that we don't need the modern woke nonsense that plagues Discovery.
Great to have Riker and Picard together again, but what kind of cosmetic surgery has Crusher had?! She looks terrible!
The only down side for me in episode 1 was Raffi's character, whom I've hated since series one. She can't act and everything seems forced.
