Here's an interesting fact for you......

Look, at all the negative reviews for this show and note how many people show it is useful compared to not. If somebody rates the show as bad or awful, it's useful.

Now look at all the positive reviews and note how many say it's useful........

Funny how so many people are not willing to accept that people like myself, and others are loving this show, and say that their positive reviews are not useful.

The fanboys who post they're negative reviews are living in the past and are not willing to accept that times have changed......and Star Trek is moving with them!!.

There are some who post negative reviews, but at least give some constructive reasons as to why they dislike the show, and that's fine. That's the type of review that SHOULD be posted on this site, so any potential viewer can get properly balanced opinions.

Unfortunately, there appears to be VERY few constructive negative reviews. The Fanboys who dislike this show just say "This is not Star Trek", or "Star Trek is dead", "Boring" etc, and quote past series as being better and the new series like Picard are dragging the Star Trek name in the dirt, and leave it at that. Their 1 star ratings will have you believe that this show was made by complete amateurs, who are yet to get out of high school.

Well, let me say this......this show DOES NOT deserve the vast number of negative reviews it has received.

For those who haven't seen this show yet, it is vastly different from other Start Trek series you may have seen. I won't give any plot details away, but as the title suggests, this is about the much loved Picard, in retirement, doing what he does best, trying to solve a mystery and save the universe. Along the way, he receives help from some old and familiar faces that we've come to know and love over the years.

The first few episodes I must admit, are a little slow, and may put off some from continuing to watch. However, if you stick with it, the story becomes quite engaging. The special effects are, as expected, top notch for a TV show, as is (in my opinion), the acting by all concerned. The acting and production values are no where near as bad as some would have you believe.

I do agree with some, that maybe this series could have been done with fewer episodes, and that the profanity used by some characters was unnecessary, which is why I have my 8 star rating.

I, like many others, have grown up with Star Trek. I'm in my mid 50's and have enjoyed every incarnation of the franchise so far. There has never been anything particularly awful about any of them, (maybe one or two bad episodes in each series, but that's it). I also appreciate that Star Trek has to move with the times and appeal to a newer generation. Picard has made a big step in the right direction to achieve this, although Star Trek Discovery has done it better. Incidentally, the Star Trek fan boys slated that show too. Apparently, that show is so bad, it's now on it's third season......funny that!!.

So, if you haven't seen this show yet, all I can say is make your own mind up by watching it yourself, and not believing the, quite frankly, unconstructive reviews, that would have you thinking this show was made by children.

If, after seeing it, you dislike it, then post a review. But PLEASE, make it constructive so that we can all have properly balanced opinions.

To the fanboys out there.....BOO HOO!! Star Trek is changing and evolving,. It needs to move on from the past you're living in, and it is in no way as bad as you're making it out to be. It's not perfect by any means, I agree, but your one star reviews, in an effort to stop people watching the show are unnecessary.

To the real fans who dislike the show, but are more reasonable with your criticisms, thank you. We need the good and the bad together, to give others who have not seen the newer Star Trek shows, proper, balanced reviews.

P.S.

I bet the fanboys are on this like a rash, rating my opinion as "not useful".
