Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Star Trek: Picard Season 1 earns its spot. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Star Trek: Picard Season 1 through its more ambitious moments. At the end of the 24th Century, and 14 years after his retirement from Starfleet, Jean-Luc Picard is living a quiet life on his vineyard, Chateau Picard. When he is sought out by a mysterious young woman, Dahj, in need of his help, he soon realizes she may have personal connections to his own past. Patrick Stewart and Alison Pill lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2020. What separates Star Trek: Picard Season 1 from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give Star Trek: Picard Season 1 a chance. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Patrick Stewart's performance is the anchor the more ambitious moments need. The world-building pays off in ways you will not anticipate on a first watch.
