Star Trek: Picard: Stardust City Rag (2020)
Episode 5, Season 1
Not Star Trek

I know that this has been said a lot, but Star Trek: Picard is "Star Trek" in name only. While it is great to see Patrick Stewart again (he could make a phone book sound interesting), the rest of the cast is just wasted. They spend so much time with flashbacks to try and 'create' a history between Picard and many of the new characters, but it just doesn't work. It's a shame, because the production value of this show is absolutely terrific, but the writing is a cliche-driven mess. You could create an "exposition drinking game" with this show and be wasted before you get to the opening credits. It's painfully obvious that the writers are steeped in science fiction, but not Star Trek.
