I haven't watched all of Picard yet. The first few eps were okay, and Discovery had been sluggish in patches. But in their favour is the fact that they're only around 13 or 14 episodes and the good episodes vs bad episodes hit rate is higher. I've only recently realised that this is the kind of storytelling I prefer even going back to when I was child. My favourite shows were things like Star Blazers (aka Space Battleship Yamato) or Monkey, where, while episodic there was an overarching story or quest. Robotech was another one that was even more focused on the overall story. I enjoy TOS primarily because of Kirk, Spock and McCoy despite it being episodic and often uneven, plus I came to it the long way round via the films (and a few re-runs in the 70s).
