Starting with episode 7, I think. We go into Picard's MIND and find some mother issues that were never brought up in 7 seasons of TNG plus movies. His character is, what, 90? A stupid aside, 90 year old men should have their shit figured out with their mothers. He is the wrong characters for writers to engage in such nonsense with. It was also done poorly. The ICE shit with Rios was dumb, dumb, dumb. I am clearly on one side of our country's stupid political divide and I am willing to believe that ICE is as worthless as the TSA is, but they are just depicted as cartoon moustache-twirling villains for ... what? For what purpose? Because someone got a butt up their ass about the hot topic of the day, immigration (which isn't a hot topic, it's a made-up one to cater towards racist thoughts when Trump was President). It was also done poorly.
I guess Rios chooses to live in the past and just dies there? Come the fuck on. I want a quieter, simpler life as well but I am not going back to the 1860s to get it.
There are other things I didn't like about it, but you have a bunch of characters I really don't care that much about not doing anything remotely Star Trek with it. It maybe would have been bearable if 22 other episodes were in a season, but TV is different now, the way they it is made and presented is different. If you wiped my memory clean of everything we knew about Jean-Luc Picard, a character I liked same as everyone else, and asked me to watch Picard Season 2, it's just not as good as the dumbest sci fi I've say through, which is Lexx or something, I guess.
