Picard was a very good show, essentially a super-extended TNG episode - resembling the more cinematic ones like The Inner Light or Best of Both Worlds.

Of course I have a few nit-pics, but they don’t lower my overall pleasure:
No real spoilers here: 1) The “look at me, I’m hairy and smoking a cigar like Wolverine” intro of the pilot. 2) The size of the town in the last act (far too small to have the dramatic weight that was needed). 3) A very weird editing mistake in what was probably episode 4 or 5, where Picard is on the planet surface and then he is also on the ship saying bye to his friend who is about to go to the planet surface.

Like you, I held off watching this show (partly cos I didn't have an Amazon prime subscription but mostly because of some very vocal "fans" negative reviews of the show).

I have watched season 1 twice already and just finished season 2 and thoroughly enjoyed both seasons.

I like character driven shows and Picard delivers on this in spades.

I think Eugene would have loved the show.
