Reviews
But despite the cameos and Easter eggs, Picard never feels like nostalgia for its own sake. The creative team — including Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon, Alex Kurtzman, Akiva Goldsman, and Kirsten Beyer— have clearly given a lot of thought to the idea of an elderly Picard.
Stewart's compelling enough to justify a relatively leisurely pace in the early going. There are a lot of new characters to introduce, and new circumstances for Picard, the Federation, and the Romulans. But it all feels cohesive and confident in a way that Discovery even in its good moments never quite has. (Nor, for that matter, did most of the previous spin-offs in their first seasons.)
Rolling Stone
..."Picard," the second streaming "Star Trek" series (after "Discovery"), is a peak-TV experience, and it immediately feels — on the surface, at least — as if it could be the franchise's best small-screen offering.
NYT
Finding a balance between old and new, between the past and the future, is as much a thematic concern as it is an offscreen imperative for Kurtzman, Stewart, and their fellow executive producers Michael Chabon, Akiva Goldsman, and Heather Kadin. No one on screen or behind the scenes believes this story can just pick up where The Next Generation (or even the big-screen adventures) left off, narratively or otherwise. The passage of time, both on the show and in real life, is seen and felt everywhere, from Picard's strained relationship with Starfleet to the Federation's current state of intergalactic affairs to the more somber tone of the series.
AV Club
Today's world isn't what Fukiyama or Roddenberry dreamed of. Both writers were fundamentally focused on the Cold War, and couldn't really imagine the politics beyond it. But that doesn't prevent some version of their vision eventually coming to pass. Picard dares audiences to avoid wallowing in despair or nostalgia, and asks them to take action to build a world that's even better than anyone could have imagined.
