Star Trek: Picard

Years have passed since he was captain of the starship Enterprise, and Jean-Luc Picard has now retired to his earthbound Chateau, where he mostly minds his vineyards.

One day, a stranger named Dahj shows up searching for help and answers after she was almost abducted at gunpoint.

The little information Dahj has points to a wide ranging and far reaching conspiracy that involves the Romulans, the Federation arch-enemies, and implies the existence of other androids in the likeness of Picard's beloved Data, in spite of a long standing ban on all forms of synthetic life.

Unable to get answers from the current leadership of the Federation, Picard takes matters into his own hands, puts together a ragtag crew, and sets out to uncover the truth.

After the successful launch of Star Trek: Discovery, the standalone Picard is another surefire hit in the Trek canon, and what a joy it is to see Patrick Stewart playing this character again!

Grade - Season 1: 8
