But put it against something like Altered Carbon on Netflix, which I just binged as a refresher for season 2, and it's not even close. The worst episode of AC (not that there was a bad one really...) is better than any Picard episode. And against something like The Expanse, and, well, it's like Picard is the JV show and The Expanse is the Varsity. So I guess Picard is just a let-down for me so far. Maybe I expected too much.

I think it’s exceeded my own expectations so far (I was fearful it could have been a mess). It was never going to be on the same level as peak TNG or peak DS9, but it’s fine for what it is.
