Without Starfleet’s support, Picard is left leaning on others for help, including Dr. Agnes Jurati (Alison Pill) and an estranged former colleague, Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd). Meanwhile, hidden enemies are also interested in where Picard’s search for the truth about Dahj will lead. The episode is written by Michael Chabon & Akiva Goldsman, and directed by Hanelle M. Culpepper. STAR TREK: PICARD features Sir Patrick Stewart reprising his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard, which he played for seven seasons on STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION.

Alex Kurtzman, Akiva Goldsman, Michael Chabon, Patrick Stewart, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth serve as executive producers; Aaron Baiers (Secret Hideout) serves as co-executive producer and Kirsten Beyer as supervising producer.

I wish CTV would remove or reduce the size of its watermark while the show is running. It's so distracting.

I think the show works because the writers completely understand the Picard character.
I thought the moment during the interview scene where, after being prodded several times, he starts talking about the immorality of abandoning the Romulans and decrying the state of Starfleet, was great. It reassured me they were handling the character right because that's exactly who Picard was on TNG.
