Despite Star Trek: Discovery's critical success, it was far from a fan-favorite. Though all four seasons boast an average 85 percent critical score, the audience score is at a dismal 37 percent. Since audience scores are more strongly correlated to overall viewership, Discovery simply wasn't pulling the numbers to make it a financially viable intellectual property.

    Picard had the retrospect to notice that fans didn’t want new experiments with old figures and then they did their latest season and it was brilliant. The rest of Picard was very decidedly Trek but so awfully slow paced that I can’t blame anyone for giving up on it.

      Picard season 1 was a mystery box that never went anywhere.

      Picard season 2 was a wild sci-fi adventure that just doesn’t quite fit.

      Picard season 3 was a season-long reunion.

      Each is basically a completely different show. I liked all three, but it isn’t 3 seasons of the same show.

      Wasn’t it filmed during COVID restrictions? I wonder if that had an impact on the 2nd and 3rd season plot.
