Can someone give me a quick explanation why Picard is hated and bad? I never liked TNG, tried it a few times and I couldn’t get through the first two seasons I found it so cheesy and cringe and that’s saying a lot considering I love TOS. But yeah I never got into TNG so didn’t watch Picard and don’t know why people hate it
Starting on point 2 with TNG, I’d recommend going back more or less where you left off. Season 3 is where things finally start to gel with the crew and most of the writing. Expect the occasional speedbump along the way (oddly more with season 7, but that’s because it was used as a dumping ground for unused story ideas).
As for Picard: there’s a fair amount of weak writing, a lot of exposition without showcase, underdeveloped secondary/tertiary characters, and a good amount of fanservice. I’ll admit, the fanservice actually helped season 3, despite Patrick Stewart’s disdain. Terry Matalas salvaged, to whatever degree, the shows last hurrah. Probably faced a ton of studio interference, but I still view his work as a general success.
Tbf even Gene Roddenberry had given up hope on the idea of a future humanity where we have overcome these basic issues.
By the end of his life he knew that the human race he portrayed in TOS was unrealistic, and that humans in a thousand years would be exactly like they are now, and how they were a thousand years ago. Same ape brain.
