I enjoyed the first couple seasons of Picard well enough, but this season has been on another level. The pacing is good, nearly every problem that's raised in one episode gets solved the next, and some of the legacy characters are getting better writing in some scenes than they ever got in TNG. The confrontation between Beverly and Picard a couple episodes ago was top notch; I felt like they both had very valid points of view, and revisiting the relationship of Picard and this cameo character was something I didn't know I wanted, as I watched them come to a new understanding of each other. If this is the kind of writing Matalas and his team are doing, I'll watch the show for as long as they'll make it.
