TV Show - Star Trek: Picard s1 (2020 [/]

Star Trek: Picard is set a couple of decades after the last movie. Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) is retired and terminally ill when a young woman, Dahj (Isa Briones), finds him. Dahj is being hunted and it turns out she's an android made from Data's memory core (Brent Spiner reprises data in a few flashbacks and dream sequences as well as heartfelt goodbye scene in the last episode).

Picard can't prevent her death at the hands of Romulan Tal Shi'ar. But he resolves to try to save Dahj's identical sister Soji. To do that he hires a ship and recruits a team to help him...

Season one is a 10-episode arc about an AI threat to the galaxy, how the Tal Shi'ar is trying to save the galaxy by killing all androids, and how Picard tries to save one woman and finally put to rest his guilt over Data. You get some cool guest stars: Jeri Ryan as a frontier ranger Seven of Nine; Jonathan Frakes and Marina Syrtis as Riker and Troi, retired and happily married with a daughter; Brent Spiner as Data and Dr Soon's son Altan Inigo.

It's a good series though maybe a bit too dependent on bringing back former Star Trek actors.
