I may not be a Star Trek addict, but they have made very strong movies and shows. Picard instantly got me hooked on the first episode with Patrick Stewart’s electric performance and incredible visuals. As the story opens, we are given a more relaxed and beautiful mood from the show. Commander Jean-Luc Picard quits star fleet after one of his missions went terribly wrong. He then retires to his vineyard, Chateau Picard. However, he’s brought back into action soon enough as a mysterious young woman named Dahj requests help from only him. Picard discovers that Dahj may have connections to his own past. While the show may be slow moving and sometimes boring, there is just enough mystery and suspense to keep you wanting more. To add on, Patrick Stewart is at his best in every scene that he does. Mostly because he has an excellent and intelligent script to work with in an interesting story. The visuals are top notch and eye popping. When present, the action is truly exhilarating and something to watch. I did not binge watch the show, it’s hard to when the episodes are all around 45 minutes long. While hard core Star Trek fans would binge the show, for everyone else it will most likely be a browse.
Is it a skip, a browse or a binge I say… BROWSE IT
