Season 3 of Picard would change your mind.

I think episode 6 leaned in too much on nostalgia, but the season started OK and just keeps getting better and better.

I felt like Picard got off to an interesting start at the beginning but completely fumbled the rest, and season 2 was not good, though it fleshed out some of his history, which may be of some interest - but the way they did it was weird.

But now I feel like Picard isn't some old dude wandering in to trouble. He feels like elder Picard should. Even Raffi is bearable now, if not one of the better characters.

I'm watching it. It's still not good. Everyone saying it's suddenly great has Stockholm syndrome.

​

It's much much better than Picard season 1 & 2, 10x better, but that's like going from a 0.1/10 to a 1/10.

​

There are TNG episodes that are 10/10 and the best Picard episode maybe reaches a 3. MAYBE.

You can like the show or not, that's fine.

But I can say with confidence that your opinion that Shades or Gray is better than any episode of Picard is not something that many people would share.

I didn't care for season 1 and 2, but they had their moments too - and they were all better than the absolute worst of TNG. When your benchmark on a 1-10 scale is 0.1-1, you're being ridiculously hyperbolic.

I sentence you to repeated viewings of Shades of Gray, Sub Rosa, and Code of Honor!
