I'm excited to see Picard again; however, and unpopular opinion incoming.....
I've always been in the minority that thinks going post-Voyager/Nemesis isn't the best move. It's great for us hardcore fans, but the reality is the franchise has to attract new fans in order to survive. Another 24th century show would be bogged down following up on DS9, and some of Voyager. That's a two series that someone would need to be familiar with unless you bog the show down with exposition explaining everything with the Dominion War and the Borg. Or you could just pick it up and, while us fanboys will know what's going on within half a second of hearing the dialog, the newcomers very likely will miss it, not appreciate, or feel like they missed something. Of course, you could take the third route and do yet another TNG rehash, but that would be a waste of potential and end up like Voyager and the first two seasons of Enterprise.
I think Enterprise was the right direction to go in ultimately. Say what you will about the execution, but the premise of exploring how the Trek universe came to be was, in my mind, really the last ground to explore. TOS started it. TNG expanded on it. DS9 pushed the boundaries of it. Voyager retreaded TNG but could have been another DS9 pushing boundaries. Enterprise's fourth season showed that there is stuff worth seeing when it comes to how the Trek universe came to be. Sadly it failed.
The JJ movies are decent action flicks, and Discovery is (in my opinion) not a bad show, but none of the post-Enterprise shows seem to be more than making more Trek for the hell of it. I'm worried this new Picard show, in addition to what I wrote above, might be similar. Good, but kind of like "what's the point?"
