I only watched the first episode so far. I swear to god, if they don’t bring Data’s daughter back to life, I’m going to commit warcrimes.
Read up the season 1 and 2 spoilers and jump to season 3. It’s a total change and a love letter finale to TNG.
It is, but I think the writers don’t quite understand the ramifications of what they’ve made canon.
Pretty much.
Seasons one and two suffered from such weird plotting and pacing.
I’m gonna be honest, stop now. Picard is not a good show.
While I personally enjoyed the entire series, I would at least watch season 3 while skipping the first two.
I’ve been considering this approach. I know the plot of the first two but don’t want to go through them based on what I’ve heard - I guess it will be fine to just jump into S3?
If you’re familiar with the plot of the first two, absolutely. There are some like Nepenthe I think you should watch, but it is fairly standalone.
Nice, I will try that approach then, thanks!
One of the difficulties of the making of season 2 was that it was happening at the same time as the making of season 3 so they couldn’t really connect them that much… so you are fine skipping right to season 3 if you want
I wanted it to be good, but the writers were all on crack or something.
is this still true even with s3? My friend has been trying to talk me into Picard for ages and they said s3 was good Star Trek.
Maybe I’m just a simple man, but season 1 was just kind of ok, season 2 I’m still not sure what happened, but season 3 really hit the spot for me.
Yeah this is how I feel. If you go in without expectations it’s pretty enjoyable, I liked it for what it was.
Nah, S3 is like a big long TNG movie and it is awesome
It’s solid. It’s a lot better than s1 or s2, and a better than any season of discovery. It’s not as good as Strange New Worlds or Prodigy.
Depends, did you like TNG the show, or TNG the movies? If you liked the movies, you’ll probably like Picard S3.

S03 is up there with the best of Trek. I liked 01 & 02 also, but that’s me. They’re hard to recommend. I absolutely recommend 03, and the other two seasons aren’t prerequisites.I agree, I also enjoyed S1&2 - each to their own really but S3 was by far the best.
It’s a hell of a lot better than the first two seasons, but that’s not a super high bar. Season 2 is probably the worst, most baffling season of television I’ve ever watched. Season 3 at least mostly made sense and was reasonably entertaining most of the way through.
I’m someone who hated season 1. Season 3 is worth the watch and feels like a great coda to TNG. It’s almost like an extended reimagining of “All Good Things” which also ties up a few loose ends from the movies and dedicates more time to showing how the characters have grown as people and, in some cases, parents.
There are some moments where it feels like Discovery or prior Picard, but not enough to weigh down the show.
