Star Trek: Picard on CBS All Access

This morning I was able to finish watching the first season of Start Trek: Picard, and I have to say I'm blown away! First, I was a little hesitant about signing up for CBS All Access because it was a lot more than the typical streaming service for what I'd get, and I didn't like that they didn't see some favorable partnerships with other broadcast channels like Hulu... but after this, I forgive them.

First, I will admit that I like to watch shows in my office on my Apple TV 4K, and the Apple TV app is just fantasic on that device, and when I'm traveling for The Shop, on my iPad. It's really pretty amazing to me. So there's that.

But it's Picard that made me a believer. This is the best show I've seen in many years. Right up there with the HBO Shows Newsroom and Chernobyl, and the Showtime Billions... just amazingly done. I can't really think of a single thing I didn't like about the first season.

It's got me thinking that I'll probably extend my Hulu subscription into a Disney+ subscription to see what's there too. We are all shelter-in-place, and this is a great way to see old friends, and find new ones.
