I've yet to watch Picard, I heard it's very woke, plus it it mskes me unhappy to see Patrick Stewart so old. Guy is in his 90's and still working.
Do not start with Picard. Start with Star Trek The Next Generation. The first season is isn't that great.
My recommendation for anyone giving the shows a chance
- Star Trek TNG - This is the favorite and unlike the following 2 it was remastered. It has a couple movies one should be watched anytime after seeing the first epidode of the next serise Deep Space 9
- Star Trek Deep Space 9 - this comes after TNG. Grimy space station sort of a hub where good and bad beings meet.
- Star Trek Voyager - Also referrnces TNG.
- Star Trek Enterprise ( Technically you can watch this one first cause it goes back to Earth's very first star ship and crew. Lower tech and still awesome. It's more theatrical looking/movie like. ) Only 4 seasons. Pity.
- Star Trek Discovery - Modern Star Trek, still being put out. I have more of these to watch. It's okay to start here but it's not as engaging as the others. This show is more generic and movie like, while every series before it, the characters are more interesting and memorable.
- Star Trek Strange New Worlds - Never touched this yet
- Star Trek Picard - An encore presentation of TNG. Except the fans aren't impressed from what I gather.
