Star Trek: Picard (2020)

Star Trek: Picard returns to the world of The Next Generation to follow Jean-Luc Picard (Sir Patrick Stewart) years after he has left Starfleet and retreated to his family vineyard. The quiet, reflective opening gives way to a tense, galaxy-spanning mystery when a young woman named Dahj seeks Picard’s help and reveals a connection to his past. Behind that plea lies a larger context — the aftermath of the Romulus catastrophe, political betrayals, and a decade-long backlash against synthetic life that has left deep moral and practical scars across the Federation. If you watch this series you’ll experience a character-driven space drama that balances intimate, emotional storytelling with action, intrigue, and occasional large-scale sci-fi set pieces. The tone moves from contemplative and elegiac to a suspenseful investigation and then to high-stakes confrontations, exploring themes of identity, legacy, grief, responsibility, and the ethics of artificial life. Expect strong, heartfelt performances (especially Stewart), surprising reunions and cameos for longtime Trek fans, careful world-building that extends established continuity, and modern production values—crisp visuals, effects-driven space sequences, and tense, well-paced dramatic beats. Picard is part personal redemption story, part detective thriller and part space-opera rescue mission. It will appeal to fans of The Next Generation who want to see familiar characters and unresolved threads pursued, as well as to viewers who enjoy mature, thought-provoking sci-fi with emotional depth and moral complexity.
