I actually did love at the beginning of season 1 where Picard is shitting on starfleet.
As meh as S1 ended up being, and as poorly as pretty much everything was done in S2… what I was most afraid of was that they’d somehow molest Picards character itself.
Season 1 of Picard started with such promise, but it’s clear they had no roadmap. They meandered around not developing the main plot until they had to throw together the most slapdash resolution in the last few episodes.
But I liked the concept of Picard in a new setting with new characters, on the outs with Starfleet but holding up its ideals even while the actual organization fell behind. A much better premise than season 3’s “lets just make everything like it was thirty years ago again!” approach.

They didn’t do that

The TNG movies already did by making him into a boring psychotic creep
