Picard is easily the worst serious ever. And I don't mean it in the sense of "place to start" but in the sense of "worst serious period". Discovery is great tho.

As a non-Trekkie, I found it enjoyable enough.. ditto with Discovery (at least the first season).

I just picked those two because they were literally my introduction to Star Trek TV series, and I know both are quite divisive in the community…

Funny, I liked the later seasons of Discovery much more when it ~~grew its beard~~ grew its dreadlocks.

Picard has it's moments but a ton of fan service that wouldn't work for non-Trekkie's I would assume but maybe that's why you didn't care about it and wasn't bothered. It's "let's take the heroes of these series and let them fight against these villains from these series and the storyline from there". Maybe it works even better if you're new to all of them.

I wouldn't even say it's bad but all the other series are better, so have fun discovering the other series 😉

it's an odd series for sure. I did enjoy the last season purely for the Enterprise-D returning. But still it's weird how they kinda just tossed Wes aside as if he didn't exist because THIS Crusher son was "WAY more important". It's like hey Beverly, you have another kid. one who at this point is WAY more powerful than your hybrid Borg thingy Son.

I liked S1. I did not finish S2.
