Star Trek: Picard - Season One

I've been waiting for this series to come out in dvd because I don't have access to cable TV anddidn't want to watch this Picard series on an smart phone. It delivered what I was expecting, enoughto explore getting Season 2 of Picard.

Good series but should be on regular tv. I haven’t seen it before so I bought dvd

Enjoyable characters, Star Trek action. Too much focus on old characters from the Next Generation series. Entire storyline is about Data's "daughters" and people from the series keep popping up as Picard travels around trying to save them. I would have preferred new stories versus rehash of old story lines. And what is it about pointy-eared people getting their home destroyed? This time it's the Romulans whose star has gone nova.

ENGAGE!!!!

I grew up watching Star Trek and with the recent renewal in the franchise series, I've felt rather disappointed with the various series. However, I was pleasantly surprised with this series as it goes back to its roots while still being new and cutting edge (at least, that was my opinion).

There for TOS (The Original Series) first airings? Don't miss this. Picard faces the universe once again as he faces old age. Two stories, both well done. Dialog, acting, directing, photography/special effects are all outstanding. Lots of action.

Most of Star Trek and other similar science fiction is often like an outer space western It gets old quickly. I would rather watch a Randolph Scott or a John Wayne movie. I expected this series to be more of the same with complicated twists in the plot similar to the Discovery Series or Pirates of the Caribbean 3 or the grossly over emphasized action of the Lord of the Rings movies. But instead the series had depth like the Tolkein books about the love of the land, or reading interesting characters by Dickens, Dumas, Hugo, Sir Walter Scott, or Jane Austen. The series was thoughtful with something to think about and consider. My kids thought it was slow, but I thought it was intriguing like reading Emma or Pride and Prejudice. One could observe the evolution of characters and their reactions to a changing time. In fact I thought for the most part, the series was brilliant. The supposedly bad guys (the Romulans) were not really bad guys, just a group with a different history and with grounded historical fears. It illustrated how different groups can be both right and wrong. The series demonstrates how the careful and imaginative writing and artistic creation is no longer found in traditional movies nor traditional television. The series suggests the importance of understanding culture and history, plus the relevance of retaining handcrafted methods. Old characters are folded into the story and new characters emerge, forming a blend as the universe changes. It may be odd that some may think this series had the potential to be a classic for our time, but it well may. Only the action near the end reminded me of those science fiction westerns, the rest was great to watch, with no interrupting commercials nor click-bait journalism. There is too much in today's technological world that is intrusive, exploiting, and corporate biased. I am sure most do not give it much thought. However, the Picard series offers an opportunity to reflect-- good-bye sports networks, social media, and air travel (they are all disgusting experiences) -- plant a garden, watch the stars, and listen to the birds (these are things that make our planet rich). Picard would understand.

Very good Star Trek follow on series.It’s great to see Patrick Stewart and others reprising their roles .Good storylines. Bring on series 2.

Good use was made of Star Trek Next Generation but developing a new storyline. Very enjoyable and I hope there will be a Season 2.

Picard dies and comes back as an android wow

Very good

Worth every penny I spend on this dvd. Was a life saver for my family over the Christmas period.
